yes I have MacAfee, And the full system scan said no viruses or malware, and the computer seems to be working ok , I do not do alot on it. hp sent me a usb stick to do a complete restore on my computer when it was done it said the computer name was Desktop-T31CUQQ. every thing was working fine, I decided to move the computer to my kitchen table so it would sit up higher for me as I have a bad back, so I unplugged every thing and replugged every thing back in and it would not open any browers so I had to reboot my router, oh by the way using ethernet connection, so when I rebooted the router it said my computer name was Desktop-D4LJHJI and I can not figure out why this happened or why it happened

I appreciate your time and efforts,

I'm glad to hear it's working fine but if you are concerned about the name, I would suggest you send us the screen shot of it so that I can check what that could be and provide you with an accurate solution.
