Is there a site I can use to test my PC to make sure I'm not sharing any of my PC's files across the net. I think I might of accidently created a network???

Just creating a local network doesn't make your files accessible to people over the internet. One site I can think of is https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 to test your firewall so nobody can get information through it.
There's a file sharing function to check whether anyone can access your files. Click on "File Sharing" and for full firewall scan click on "All Service Ports"."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"
