So this morning I thought my laptop was infected with a virus, as it gave me more than 4 identical and connectable access points to my router. Scanned 6 times, nothing came up with MalwareBytes and Security Essentials.
Turned out to be Access Connections that did it.
Fuck paranoia.

In case of a suspected compromise, I always scan with avast, mbam, spybot S&D.
If those fail to find something, I hit up wireshark, and record traffic for ~20min, and check if there's anything suspicious there, by checking it with virustotal (Anonymize the pcap first).

Bit late, I think mine is Cooler Master. My peripherals are a mix of brands, including JVC, HP, Dell, Compaq, and Logitech.
I use Cooler Master's case and fans, CPU cooler, and as well as thermal paste.

My desktop is a bit of a frankenputer at this point:
Started as a 2006 Mac Pro
Added RAM from some third-party (IIRC it's branded for an HP workstation)
Added an XFX Radeon 6870 (replaced the X1900 Pro)
Added a Seagate 1TB drive
Added a WD Black 2TB
Added a Mushkin Chronos hard drive
Added a USB 3.0 card salvaged from trashed machine
Added a dirt-cheap unbranded RAID card and hooked old two laptop drives up to it for temp space while I was shuffling data between drives
Hooked up a Logitech sound system, Dell Ultrasharp and some dirt-cheap LG monitor
Hooked up an Asus-branded GX800 mouse (I suspect it's a rebrand of something else) and a cheap Microsoft keyboard (which I really need to replace someday)
Apart from the remaining Apple components (case, fans, mobo, PSU, and 75% of the RAM), the only repeated vendors are Seagate (the two laptop drives and the 1TB drive) and WD (the original 250GB drive and the 2TB game drive). Nobody else has more than a single part.

I have one too and it was recently retired and lived in my closet for months, but now it has a new life playing Diablo 2 on a 2006 Mac Mini :v:

I have this mouse. It's pretty good, even though it is kind of a downgrade from my old G9x. I just started hating how that mouse felt in my hand.
It's the same mouse as this: [url]http://sc2.stashden.com/reviews/i-rocks-m09-gaming-optical-mouse-review[/url]
Certainly not as ugly.
[editline]20th November 2013[/editline]
I considered buying something like the Logitech G400s/5000s or even a G700s but my fingertip grip prefers the shape of this mouse.

That guy can't play Dirt3 worth a damn, you're supposed to slow down back to fourth gear entering that corner at 5:11, let the back out a bit with the handbrake and exit the corner in third gear, on the left side, in order to line up with the next turn.
And he was playing with the third-person camera.
And with all the assists turned on, and he still somehow managed to crash off the course.
My desktop is pretty mix and match.

Antec CPU cooler with corsair fan

Coolermaster case with stock fans

By and large the same deal here. The only things that are the same brand for me are two pieces by Asus and Intel. I guess you could technically count the multiple hard drives.
Beyer Dynamic headphones.
Some 10 dollar microphone I don't remember the brand of.
Filco Keyboard (could probably beat someone to death with it without worrying about anything except cleaning the blood out of it)
Logitech mouse
Asus mobo
Gskill memory
EVGA GPU
Intel SSD and processor
WD hard drives
Seasonic PSU
Asus monitor
Fractal Design case.
Fuck brand loyalty. Buy what's best at the price points you want.
EDIT: If that means you have 5 things from say asus, then so be it. Buying for the sake of a brand name is really stupid.
I just wanted a keyboard without anything printed on the keycaps and with mechanical switches for cheap.
I found this: [url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CKJ2EZI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3RTEBWOSE7AXE[/url] which is the closest

Looks nice as hell. But i'm not really sure about blues.
Not a fan of blues personally, but to each their own.
I'm not the one typing on it. You are. You be the judge. Also, try asking in the mech thread. I'd heartily recommend the Filco Majestouch series, but they are pricey. They have the letters on the front side of the keycaps. Other than that, it's just a uniform black.

I got the Das keyboard with MX blues.
and the switches have a somewhat sticky feeling to them. Really annoying.
The only reason I got my G500 is because the el cheapo PS2 mouse I had was starting to kick the bucket (and the G500 was like 50% off or something from a Newegg sale). That thing lasted me for like four years.
And I've been using the same Dell Quietkey since... 2004?

Fiddler won't catch everything. I've not seen ( or have there been known sightings ) a single sample in the many I have seen that alter WinPCap.
