WORRIED ABOUT UNKNOWN NETWORK

Hi All,

I'm really worried about an unknown network ID on my computer, i found it when i was looking at my finder and it won't let me get rid of the connection.

Can someone please help? The icon is a blue screen on a really old PC.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14

Unrecognized network on newish desktop Mac I checked my Mac's networks for the first time. I found an unrecognized network - "Patron - WiFi." This is a newish Mac, and I didn't set up that network. Is this something that comes with a Mac? The Mac is a desktop, so it has only been at home. Can I safely delete this network? Any idea where the network came from?

System Preferences > Sharing

if nothing is checked, no one has any access to your computer, except perhaps its name and nothing more.

It's just a Computer advertising some Sharing service, nothing to worry about. :)

Oh, is it yours & on your Network?
