My computer can pick up radio signals in the woods? That's even stranger...-.-

Not as strange as you think.  Turn over any electrical device.  It complies with part 14 of the FCC rules:  This device must not cause any harmful interference, and must accept any interference it receives, including that which may cause undesired operation.

I've had computer speakers play what was going on on the telephone, a few lower band AM stations that were close together as if it were switching channels, a TV broadcast, and my walkie talkies.  Apparantly, the magic is in getting these signals into the air, there isn't a fancy decoding of the rest, just turning patterns into sounds.  I wonder though why it happens all the time.  If you are getting these sounds after running all the spyware and virus solutions, then try getting a bit of aluminum foil, and wrapping the input signal cord in it, and the power as well.  It may look goofy but it could help.


Aluminum foil?  Wouldn't that only intensify the signal?

Good pick on the Antivirus/Antispyware programs, Zanzibar.  I use the same ones myself.  Almost got it down to a science  :).  First do the Trendmicro, and then a spyware hunter of some type, then trendmicro again.  Then, if that doesn't work, switch to linux to avoid having to pay out the nose for Norton or Pandasoft licenses.
