Unexpected remote desktop connection.

I was working on my laptop today trying to customize Natty to my liking. 
  I added a couple of ppa's for indicator applets and installed the 
applets.  I then let the machine set for a while.  When I looked at it 
again I saw a monitor icon on the top panel.  When I clicked on it I was 
informed that ip 211.247.13.53 was remotely accessing my desktop.

I immediately severed the connection.  Checking the remote desktop 
settings I saw the sharing checkbox was checked but the allow remote 
desktop control was unchecked.  I don't know if sharing is checked by 
default or if I checked it to experiment.

whois results:

query: 211.247.13.53

So is it possible I've been hacked? If so what is my best course of action?

There's really not much of value on it. I use it infrequently mostly to 
experiment with Natty.  Firefox has a few passwords stored, but nothing 
really critical. However it was connected to my home network by wire at 
the time.

Regards,  Jim
