  1. Infrarecorder is pretty solid and it's free. Otherwise - Nero.
  2. If that doesn't work - it may be a fake youtube. The koobface worm is very commonly spread through fake video pages, so just be careful!
  3. If it's not always on - you shouldn't have a problem. When people do that, they want reliability. So if it's hit/miss - you should be fine.
  4. Even with a password you aren't very safe. If you log into your router you should have some wireless configuration options. One of them should include "Wireless Client Table" and then you can see who is connected to your wireless. Obviously if you see a computer name or know that you don't have someone on your wireless at that point in time that someone is piggybacking. WEP keys are ridiculously easy to crack - so if you do decide to add a password - make it WPA or WPA2. This only makes it more difficult (although still not impossible to crack.)
  5. I use Revo Uninstaller and it's worked wonders for me. Programmers that half-ass their uninstallers usually leave bits and pieces behind. Revo is very thorough on removing those leftovers.
  6. And instead of hitting the recovery console - a repair install is usually a surefire fix of getting it taken care of. http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm
  7. It also makes things much easier to administer. Can push out software, change policies and update all (or select) computers all at once. Depending on how many computers you have, you might want to just stick with a workgroup as it is pretty spendy to get a domain going.
  8. How annoying would it be if you caught some nice malware and you couldn't even access your dial-up? I think it's a worthy time investment.
