Funny NetBIOS Name on Network

[redozqld]

About a week ago I noticed a strange Name on the network list, I emmediatly put it in the block list on the firewall, but for the life of me I cant figure out where its coming from...

Its not in any of the dns servers, it shows up as a netbios name in a workgroup by itself..

Any thoughts anyone?
