How can i delete smbshare from macbook all together?

Same issue here. Just checked my system on virusses and malware; nothing detected. However the other day I received the notorious vodafone email containing a virus, which I stupidly opened. Although nothing happened (visibly), I am afraid this might be related.

Anyone with more info?

That simply means you're on a network that has another system on it that's advertising a share. Either that or there's a network capable device on that network that is advertising it's share capabilties. Could be a router that gives access to connected drive/printers via it's sharing capabilities or if you're at work, it could be a server/workstation/network copier/printer that's advertising those shares. It's how networks work man, if you don't like it, get off that network and onto another one that's private and doesn't have anything on it aside from an Internet gateway.

I understand your answer, and of course that has been my thought as well. But I didn't change anything to the network's configuration, nor did I change anything on the devices that are connected to the network (Mac Mini). And the 'smbshare' folder (or whatever it represents) has never been there before. Also no other devices are connected to the network, no external device has hacked into my router. So, although I do understand the content of your answer, I think there's something else going on on our systems.

Something is on your network advertising those connection. If by chance they are connections you had mounted and didn't dismount, they will have an eject button to the right of them as you highlight each one. If so, simply eject it and it won't show up anymore. Either way, without stating exactly what the names of those resources are, I can't tell you what they could belong to. Why don't you post a screen shot of the Finder window so we can all see what you see?

Hope this clarifies a bit.

What's that MacScan one under Devices? Again, the SMBShare is most likely something like a printer maybe sharing out it's memory stick reader, a wireless router all of a sudden configured to share a resource plugged into the USB port on it (even though there may not be anything plugged into it), etc. Can you provide a list of devices on your network (don't overlook things like Smart TVs, newer stereo receivers, a media sharing app on an iPhone or another iOS device, even a media sharing app on a Mac.

One thing you can do is go to a Terminal window and ping smbshare and see what you get in response. If it resolves to an IP address, find out what that IP belong to by looking in your connected devices list on your router config page or by doing a LAN IP scan or by just looking at the IPs of all the devices on the network until you find the one that matches. Once you do, something on that device is advertising this share name... find it and disable it.

Found it! Sorry for the trouble, but thanks for your help and insight! I changed the channel of my router today to channel 9. Apparently after the restart, the SMB server on the ROUTER (!!) was activated. Clearly stating the name of the server 'smbshare'. Never thought about that.

Thank
