just now I cleaned my pc with a vacuum cleaner.. My problem now is I recently found out that it is dangerous to vacuum it with a big vacuum cleaner. What can I do now? Will my pc blow up soon? Are there any methods to remove the static charge?
I do it with a static-free brush to move the dust around and the vacuum head hovering above it to remove that unclinged dust.
Usually I don't wear an anti-static strap when servicing or mucking around as I use the casing as ground point, but when vacuuming I wear it. Works for me.

Will my pc explode? Right now it's working perfectly, all i can remember is I vacuumed the pc for a long time, almost every part. What will happen to my pc now? Is there any way to remove the static charge. Sorry I don't really get this static charge thingy.

Just buy a can of compressed air, like wuzy I don't use a wrist strap either. Stay away from carpet and wear rubber soled shoes. After awhile grounding yourself to the chassis becomes second nature.
if you have access to an air compressor, it works better than the canned air, and provides a near infinite supply.
On a similar note, has any of you ever saw dust that looked like fur? without pets? I recently cleaned a friends computer, and it had tons of crap inside, in big chunks that looked kinda like fur.....almost like a mouse hit a fan and exploded(without any mouse chunks of course). the stuff stained the front of my shirt when i picked the tower up to move it so I could install the new parts he bought. It was kinda blueish in color on my shirt.
Edit: Pfft, I said "it works better that the canned air", I had to fix it.

Like cliffro said an air compressor does work better. I personally take my computer's to the tire shop, I bought some tire's from the dude so he's cool with it.
