PLEASE ONLY SERIOUS ANSWERS OR ANSWER IF YOU CAN HELP ME!
I know that your computer has specific identifying mechanisms,(internally) like the IP address and other things like that. I need to change the name of my computer. For instance, when I go to command prompt, my name displays in the command line. How can I change this? Whenever my husband set up my laptop, he put my name there. What things can I do to semi alter the identification of my computer, besides buying a new one? I want to change the name, possibly change the IP (some say you can, and others say you can't). We have a router for wireless and a desktop that is plugged into the wall. I sent an email from a gmail account about some things that shouldn't be happening at my job and I'm afraid that the person may get a hold to the email that was sent and try to trace it. It was sent from a fake email that isn't listed as my name. But even so, please help me with ways that I can unidentify my computer in any way. I am very paranoid and nervous. Please Help!
