I stupidly clicked on free networks while travelling though airports last week including peer to peer. Now I see "Free Public WiFi" as an available peer to peer network wherever I go. I deleted eveything form my preferred network list other than my own wirless network. I have always had "file sharing" turned off so I don't think anyone could have accessed my pc.

Questions:
1. Can I get rid of the fake network in my available networks list?
2. By deleting the network from my perferred network list have I ensured that my pc isn't broadcasting peer to peer "Free Public Wifi."

I did block automatic connection to networks other than the "preferred" list (that is mine). I also block connections to peer to peer networks.

I have run antivirus and anti malware scans and came up clean.

Here is a reference for other non-experts expaining the viral ssid problem. Prevention is best!
