The aluminum foil was just a thought, I've noticed that in many of my old CRT monitors, there was aluminum foil in areas, and some type of aluminum foil tube that actually ran around the screen to reduce electrostatic. Also the tube had around 6 separate ground wires soldered onto it and then they converged into 1 wire and then to the actual ground. As long as no connection was made anywhere to a piece of electronic equipment(such as only touching plastic or any other non-metallic material) you'd have absolutely no problems. You could even glue it down to keep it from things.

Oh and lol, if you have a dust buster, then maybe it's the age of your toaster and microwave that's the problem (should the wire you mentioned not be the problem). Because, up until the mid to late 90's there wasn't that strict of policies concerning electrostatic and odd frequencies being emitted from electronics.

And, if you've created any extra wires that carry any sort of electrical current (network or other) make sure that where they're connected (if you had to do more than plug it in) and.. . The location of where power cords coming into your motherboards and whatnot can effect it too, such as if the power connection is too close to where your TV is encoded for viewing.
