I live in an apartment with free WiFi. But I barely get one bar if any. And even with such a low connection, I am getting high speeds. However, I would like to know if someone can recommend a high range receiver or some kind of signal booster so that I can assure a more stable connection with more bars? Also, if I am connected to the network (or any public network), with all file sharing and network discovery off (using Vista), is my cpu safe from intrusion and other hacks???

I just bought a new power supply and video card.

I'm about to head over to my Dad's house and he's going to give me a hand replacing my current psp and video card. I know how to replace the video card but not the power supply so I'm going to be following an online guide. I've replaced my video card a few times before, but not the power supply.

I don't have a wrist strap, and I just got back from driving into town to eget that stuff, so I'm not enthusiastic about heading back into town, for a 15 minute job.

If I unplug my computer, let it cool off, and then touch a non-painted metal surface like a bolt or screw and then replacing the parts, will I fly my computer parts?

Thanks,
Mark

I'm pretty sure it's Virtumonde. It's infected both my computers now. It keeps giving me AVSystemCare popups and a few others. I've tried AdAware, Spybot S&D, and two specialising in virtumonde: F-vmonde and Vundofix. None of these are picking anything up but I know something is there because I keep getting the AVSystemCare popups. Something like this happened before and I had to get a HJT log so people could help. Anyone have any suggestions for other programs I could use?
