Definitely sounds like a hack to me... if you are using a wifi network,
check and make sure unauthorized computers haven't connected to your
router... and perhaps change your router password.
If you are using a wired network, then check and make sure nobody's
connected another computer to it.
Lastly, to see if this is a hack... I'd take some of those names and input
them into google or msn search... "MSHeimNetz" pulls up some very
interesting search results, but unfortunately I don't speak German.
A friend pointed me to a language tranlsation web site...
http://babelfish.altavista.com - try sticking some search results into there
from those weird names.
Good luck!
