   	You misunderstood. Nirsoft's Wireless Network Watcher is NOT   
   malware. It merely lists all the computers connected to your Wireless   
   router. Including any connected by cable(LAN).   
      
   	You DO have an ASUSTek computer attached to your network.   
      
   	Try nmap on 192.168.1.6 to see where it is on your network. It   
   might even be able to guess the OS it's using.   
      
   	And change your router's passwords. Both the actual router   
   admin password AND the password used for  wireless access. I'm   
   guessing a family member or a neighbour is using your network.
