anymore . . . or am I being unnecessarily paranoid?

Lint-free cloth, NOT paper towels; spray one cloth with water or isopropyl alcohol, use that to clean, and follow with a dry cloth.

No, you're not being paranoid; I was specifically told *not* to use paper towels when I asked. (And it sounds like Windex isn't quite the thing, either.)

A dilute vinegar solution will also work. Don't ever spray anything directly onto the screen of a flatscreen monitor.

And don't press or try to scrub, because you can damage pixels or scratch the surface of the monitor that way. IME, there are a *lot* of things that will come clean with sufficient gentle rubbing with something damp, but you need to be patient with everything.
