I am pretty reluctant to totally reinstall my laptop as I have it set how I like, but I will do it all the same. It doesn't have a restore drive or a restore cd so I don't know what I will do about vista.

One thing, is there something I can do to check if someone is trying to hijack it, i.e scan for other wifi 'items' in my area?
