Computer: Typing by itself?

fed34 · 04-25-2005, 04:48 AM

Sometimes, my computer types by itself. For example, when I'm typing on Word, it may begin with "....." then start typing strange sentences. Is this a virus? How can I get rid of it? It's really annoying. Even when I'm using IE, on the top left hand corner, there seems to be a box with "......" and more typing.

Take your sandwich off the keyboard!...

jus kidding, first thing is to try a different keyboard. Then make sure that voice recognition is not enabled if you have MS office, (turn off the language bar too). If you truley think it's a virus, go here for sum real good online scans.
