Hey, I found an interesting device under my airport button today on my Macbook. Under my normal household airport network, there is a category that says "Devices" and under it, is "Megahoc.v22". I've never seen this before, and apparently you can connect to it like a normal network. I tried turning off all of my other devices in my house (Cell phone, PS3, iTouch, etc...) but it never went away. What is it? I've done a search on google, but came up w/ nothing but more questions? Is it malicious? How can I get rid of it? Thanks for any help/info y'all can give! :confused:

I am in Philadelphia, and have also discovered Megahoc.v22 wireless, computer-to-computer internet access. I have detected this point of access in all on northwest Philadelphia. Reading other postings, I see that it has also been detected in other states. How wierd is that. Can anyone shed any light on this?
