what exactly happens if i disable adapter settings in network and sharing center? Does doing so give me a false sense of security; that is, can someone still see my computer?
 
Solution
You can disconnect your computer from a network by disabling your network adapter;
(eg: right click the "local area connection" - select "Disable")

At that point in time, nobody can see your computer on the network - you are secure.

However, you will no longer have internet access

Cheers,
