It may be the powerstrip that is the signal eater. How do you have the
filter, powerstrip and PC connected?

If it's wall plug -> powerstrip -> filter -> PC and you have to unplug the
powerstrip to eliminate the problem, the powerstrip is the likely evil doer.


Try wall plug -> filter -> powerstrip -> PC.

If that doesn't fix things then you may have a defective filter but I think
the chances of that are very low. You can test it using wall plug -> filter
-> lamp (or appliance) module. If you can control the module, the filter is
defective.

If it is the powerstrip, you can open it up and remove the capacitor.
