    I've seen a lot of the reposnses about going into managed networks and deleting. It doesn't show up there. Also I live on 3.5 acres so its not a neighbor.I got hacked bad about 5 weeks ago. I use a vpn and Bitdefender. On the 2 Dell XPS laptops they bypassed Bitdefender and turned off notifications and password protected. Both have trojan viruses.I reset one and the hidden network stills shows up and automatically connects. Due to the hack I'm very determined to find the source and permanently remove it.

  2. Hidden Network set to Automatically Connect, re-checks if unchecked. Not listed in Manage Known Networks

    I have the actual Network I use set to Automatically Connect but even if I disconnect from that and uncheck the Automatically Connect option the Hidden Network still stays checked and will re-check itself instantly if unchecked.

  3. Hidden Network set to Automatically Connect, re-checks if unchecked. Not listed in Manage Known Networks

    To start, YES I realize that I'm not actually actively connected to the Hidden Network, It requires a password. My issue is that I cannot uncheck the Connect Automatically (it re-checks itself instantly) AND the network does not show up in the list to
    Forget Network. THIS IS A NETWORK I DID NOT CREATE NOR HAVE I EVER USED, it just appears in my Available Networks list set to automatically connect. If a network isn't recognized by my computer as one I can forget, and it's set to automatically connect from
    my PC no matter what if given the right info I DON'T WANT IT ON THERE. It's a security risk if someone else put it there and knows the access info to connect to it from my computer or vice verse I wouldnt be surprised if someone was using their network to
    somehow connect to my computer and keeping me locked out of the network from my end with access info I'm not a hacker or super verse with PC Mumbo Jumbo so I have no idea. But because I do not know for sure HOW DO I REMOVE IT? I want to force my PC to flat
    out ignore the network signal entirely.

    Hidden Network set to Automatically Connect, re-checks if unchecked. Not listed in Manage Known Networks

    It literally is titled Hidden Network and it does not appear in my Manage Known Networks list so as far as I'm concerned yes it's a hidden network.
