assuming you've already done the standard AV scan, try Malwarebytes. worked for a colleague who also had the same issue, though for a different site. your mileage may vary.

depends; how careless are you? are you or anyone else likely to use the computer prone to visiting sites with the term "free mp3/videos/ porn (...why?)/etc. downloads"? i've been solely relying on MSE/Windows Defender with a little help from add-ons/extensions in the form of flash blocks...

define "mundane". if you're not doing any rendering, or editing and such, then i'm gonna make that desktop look a lot more attractive by recommending you to just get an i5, 2x4gb of DDR4 ram, & really tone down on the PSU, as nice as it is if you're not going for SLI in the future. 600-650W for...

no to the GPU & no to what Turkey3_scratch is suggesting that is upgrading the CPU. the i5-3317U uses a BGA socket, so you're limited to upgrading the RAM & HDD/SSD http://www.techpowerup.com/cpudb/1074/core-i5-3317u.html the only other solution really is an external GPU, though being a...

report to your local police station. unless you installed something like Prey or Cerberus, there's no actual way to track your phone with that info here.

if you're asking if you can get a desktop CPU installed on laptop, the straight answer, unfortunately for you, is no.

right click the volume icon on your desktop > click Playback Devices > Click on Headphones or whatever audio device is detected, and set it as the default device. if this doesn't work, are you certain you've installed the audio driver for your motherboard?

yes. not all games support Mantle, and it can't hurt to have DX in the case that Mantle performance in future games that support it are unoptimized.

there are barebone laptops that you can assemble yourself, though those always come with limited choices in terms of hardware and tend to be more expensive than the pre-made alternatives. but in a majority of cases as USAFRet has mentioned, there's simply no universal standards between laptop...

yes, you'd need a component cable to enable the option. it was an improvement from composite, though i went with some cheap third-party cables that suffered some corrosion, so there's some light static, real noticeable in brighter colors at times. others reported much better results in most...

yeah. i could've sworn i wrote something about stretching a 360p/480p source to 1080p up there. well, lucky you kept your old tv. alternatively getting the wii's component cables instead of using the composite cables you're using is an improvement, though minor.

as a skeptic of "Game Mode", I'm glad i'm wrong about it.

as i've said, pre-wii consoles tend to suffer from input lag with HDTVs, hence not throwing away/selling your old TV. if you have to, try turning off some of the advance features (like Dejuddering) to reduce any extra processing for better results. as a mainly PC gamer, 24ms is high. but then...

not bad, and well within your budget. i should really consider getting a better TV at that price....
