Original question:

I've got a random Amazon KFAUWI device showing up on my network as a device beside my driver for my router. Can anyone help? I am sure it is not a device in my house, as everything is set to something we've done or one of our names. Can anyone tell me if i'm stupid or if this is a general happening?

    1.  under Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS option, disable the WPS and save settings.

    1. ALSO in Wndows turn off features (if this is enabled)
    2. go to "Turn Windows features on or off "link.
    3. then find  the SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support option.
    4. Uncheck this
    5. Click the OK button.
    6. Click the Restart now button.

    At a quick glance, almost all of the devices being mentioned here are amazon's Fire tablets.

    Hope this helps.

    Sorry i just read this question i have not seen this particular issue but it looks like you received a message with some sort of audio file attached and google does not have a decoder to play the file.   If it is important you should contact the sender for info on this file type and how to use it

    otherwise play it safe and delete it
