how do I get rid of unwanted network That I didn't install. Including a
printer. this guys are crooks I need them out of my computer thank you lloyd
This sounds like an example of this generic OS design problem:
Auto-integration of detected "new stuff".
Which is itself an example of a wider generic design OS problem:
Acting beyond the user's expected level of risk exposure.
I can think of two ways you can be stuck with a "network" you don't
want: Wireless picking up the LAN next door, and leftovers from when
the PC was connected to a network elsewhere.
The latter arises because the OS pro-actively detects and enumerates
network resources, and may retain these settings even when the network
is "not there" anymore. Think "network" printers and auto-dumped
yellow shortcuts cluttering up "My Network Neighborhood".
