O.P. Undecided  "My Computer" renamed "telco"
When I logged into my account today I saw that "My Computer" was renamed to "telco" :S

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.
