Unknown \\SMBSHARE in network overview [Solved]

It was bothering me some time that I noticed an entry within my win8.1 network overview called \\SMBSHARE
I never created it and therefore I wanted to get rid of it.
It turned out it  samba was enabled on my KPN Modem by default.

Just untick the "Enable Samba Server" and you're done
