Every so often the Network page in Windows 8.1 shows a Sony Xperia phone connected.

We don't have any Sony phones, and it's not connected to the router. Da fuck?

Sure it's not a Bluetooth device?

Try an arp scan if you want to see what devices are on the network.

If you're not wearing your tin-foil hat, now would be a good time to start.

Of course I'm wearing my tinfoil hat, how else would I be getting wifi reception?

Why would it say "Manufacturer's website unavailable" for someone the size of Sony? :/

I'd double-check you've got decent and up-to-date anti-malware running.

What 8.1 screen is it appearing on? It isn't just an entry in File Explorer under the Network Heading is it?

Your screenprint shows an unknown device in the table on the broadband setup page. Can you account for that entry? Not sure whether you were indicating that it did or it didn't relate to the Sony entry.

Windows may have tried to install some phone, or even some other device, at some point in the past via upnp and just be showing you what it identified as a network device.

Just block its MAC address in your router and wait for the complaints.

It's been cropping up since day one of the install so doubtful it's malware in that sense.

All the router entries are valid. The 'unknown' is my phone. Sometimes it shows up as unknown, somtimes as kosPhone. My network setup is /awful/ and leads to some annoying problems like that.

Good idea! I'll do that now. Only issue is that I have a Sky broadband booster thing, and anything connected to that is presented to the router under the booster's MAC address (which is /really/ annoying, as I want to reserve an IP for my rasperby pi but it connects via the booster (as it's about 6 inches away from it) so I can't :@ )

It's been cropping up since the moment your computer was at its most vulnerable...?

It's probably not malicious, but it's also sufficiently odd that it makes sense to do a check up and make sure, no?

I ran a full scan a few weeks ago and it found nothing. And took many, many hours.

Then you're probably fine. (So long as it's decent software with updated definitions.)

p.s. Most people have this condition called "sleeping" - it's a rather annoying occurrence, but it does at least provide a useful period during which non-interactive tasks that take many hours can be scheduled.

Yeah, it took me three nights to run a full scan. The first two nights the laptop decided it'd had enough and shut down :C
