Today I connected to my router to check how things where going and saw that there was a computer named "AZTHEBEST" connected. After a few steps I figured out it was my own. The point beeing that I surely haven't changed my computer's name to AZTHEBEST... is there some kind of virus which could have had?

When did the OS get installed? Likely whoever installed it named the computer?

:-$ in that case either you named your computer or you've got something very very strange going on!
Have you checked what your computer's name actually has changed in Windows?

you sure you named...?

why dont you confirm that?

(on a Windows XP, 9x)
rightClick on MyComputer > Properties > Computer Name Tab > check the value for Full computer name

or

be DOS Window

Click Start > Run > cmd (hit Enter) ( opens a dos window ) > write ipconfig /all
you will get the computer name in the 1st line where it says Host Name .....
