Armor scans devices I don’t have.

I just installed a Nighthawk system yesterday. I got a couple of scan result messages about devices I dont have. What's that about?

    Hello 87corvette, 

     

    Welcome to the community! Are you able to remove those unknown devices. If so, does Armor still scan the devices?

     

    Thanks,

    Christian

      I'm not sure if I can remove them or not since I just bought and fired up the system yesterday. Why would Armor thell me it scanned devices I dont have. That's the larger question.
