Re: UNKNOWN COMPUTER ON OUR NETWORK
is this a wireless router? is there a user account named Kimberly?
if you have wireless and are not using it, log into the router and
disable the wireless radio (this does not mean turn off broadcast).
if you cannot disable, change the SSID to something unique but not
personally identifiable and implement a WPA2 passphrase (or at least
WPA).

otherwise, post more info about your problem.
