Re: Computer typing and acting on its own.

Your best protection from another virus infection is to download your BIOS
install or upgrade. Starting with a fresh install of the BIOS, then a fresh
install of Windows, including turning on the firewall before going online,
should get you going without this backdoor connection.

I have been puzzled on this one, my computer for the past few months
has had a mind of it's own. It first started typing full and half
sentences about two months ago, at first I thought it was a virus
and took the easy way out and reformatted. I have two hard drives
in this machine and I have formatted them both twice at least,
loaded both xp home and ubuntu on them and still seem to get the
mystery typing. I have even taken memory out , switched the order
and changed out my g15 for a normal keyboard. I have yet to find a
solution, somehow it keeps typing on its own, deleting characters ,
using the arrow keys to go back and forward on websites and
pressing enter on it's own. I have used spybot, windows defender,
and adware tagged up with norton
10.2 corporate edition. I have used two different online scanners
and still no luck, does anyone know what else it could be? I don't
have office or voice recognition nor do i have a microphone plugged
in so we can safely rule that out.

These "semntences" - are you exaggerating or are these actual
sentences?

I would suspect a practical joke followed by my next suspicion of
defective
hardware.

To quote one, one of them said like "Kay Jewler,Tiffanys necklace is
at the store." The sentence makes no sense to me, but its not just
like its a jkjlkjlkjl type pattern, their actual words. As for a
joke, who would be pulling it? No virus scanner can pick anything up,
2 formats, 2 different operating systems, where else could a virus
hide?

Are you on a wireless system ?

wireless internet yes.
