hmm, sounds like a possible human error in removing the crapware form Mcafee, and then after not fully uninstalling that piece of bloatware, you installed AVG and it tried to work with the leftovers from Mcafee still interfering. I have AVG and the router is a good 100 feet away, maybe more and I have no troubles with my wifi connection.

Submission + - How to frame a printer for copyright infringement (washington.edu)

Without downloading or sharing a single file, their study attracted more than 400 copyright infringement complaints. Even more disturbing is their discovery that illegal P2P participation can be easily spoofed; the researchers managed to frame innocent desktop machines and even several university printers, all of which received bogus complaints.
