How do you remotely de-authorise a computer?

Hey, I am being told that I have authorised 4 computers to my appleid but I think two of them are either broken or not mine... How do I view/make changes to the list of authorised computers?

You will have to de-authorise all your computers then re-authorise the ones you need.

Deauthorize all computers

Open iTunes on one of your authorized computers.

Click Store > Sign In.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Deauthorize All.

The Deauthorize All button appears only if you have more than 2 authorized computers. If you don't see the Deauthorize All button, that means you only have one authorized computer.

( Deauthorize your computer using iTunes - Apple Support )

Note that you can 'deauthorise all' only once a year.
