"My Computer" renamed "telco"

When I logged into my account today I saw that "My Computer" was renamed to "telco"

Any idea why it was like that?

To get it back read Rename My Computer On Desktop.

Did you install something by Telco? It may be its result *-)

.

Edit @ Shwanz : Well a software could mess through your registry.

for some odd reason, i'd bet my life that installing a software product won't rename My Computer to the author of that product.

I've ran Spybot S&D, AVG, Ad-Aware (may as well) but they found nothing.

Nope, although I do have a wireless router and am planning to set that up. There is a slight chance that someone could have renamed it remotely via TightVNC that could have been running.
