Fitbits left next to a vibration source will often falsely interpret the vibrations as steps, and I expect that your computer's cpu is what caused this.  When not being worn it is best to store the Fitbit on a stable surface away from fans, computer units (unless the Fitbit is plugged in for charging) etc.

 

You can remove the unwanted steps by logging driving.  Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and search for and find the built in "drving" activity, rather than creating a custom activity.  You will also need to enter the correct time and date the false steps were counted.

Sense, Charge 5, Inspire 2; iOS and Android
