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?

    It's spyware.  It was inputting ADs at the top of all my Google search results.  Stopped immediately after stopping and disabling "Windows Connect Now" service.

    Type "services.msc" into Windows search bar and hit enter.

    Find "Windows Connect Now" Double-Click

    Click "Turn Off"

    Click "Disable"

    Click "Ok"

    Trace IP to person creating software.

    Find and beat to death with pipe.

    Fixed.

    Mine displayed with the "Karmak" identifier - no IP, no MAC. It was making me insane. This solution stopped it. Now I need to find a pipe. (Thank you)

    Its appears to be amazons kindle app.

    I have an Samsung S9, and i use package disabler pro - if you disable the kindle app, it dissapears, and re-appears when you reeneble it.
