Possible virus?

[Perad]

Help please, the virus scan and spyware scan's have tossed up nothing but my computer is broken, when i type there are random shift's, the typing stop's working for a few second's. My computer has become slower. Everything is going wrong. Also there are little clicking sounds and when that happen's its like control is on. Is there any idea of what this fuck is and how i can remove it.

This took 5 minutes to tpye... could this be something to do with service pack 2?

Do you have another keyboard to test out? Or are you sure that this is virus/malware related?

Is it possible someone could have spilt water on the keyboard, and haven't told anyone about it?

service pack 2 for XP breaks more than it fixes, i'm told.

In any case, backing up all files (except .exe, .vbs, .dll, .bat, .scr, .com files), formatting, and reinstalling your windows OS (I recommend changing to windows 2000 professional, XP is a heap of shit) then restoring your backed up files will solve this problem.

Do this if you have updated your virus definitions to the latest ones possible and your problem is still not solved.

XP Home or XP Pro? I run XP Pro both at work and home and I've never had any problems with it. I've also ran W2K Pro at work and never hand any problems with it either. I can't talk about XP Home, though, since I've never used it. XP Pro, though, is not a heap of shit.

It probably is if his computer is getting slower as he described.
What Av and spyware program do you run iamnottheend?

Check your keyboard and see if the Caps Lock light is on =P

I have tried all 3 of my keyboards and still the same problem, i did a search for spyware yesterday and it seemed to stop it, so i rebooted my system today and its back... i don't know what is going on.

EDIT: On spyware i always find a DSO exploit and a CleverIEJAred or something. Could that have something to do with it?

If your having problems with stuff coming back you might want to try the following:

First disable system restore, you can do this by going to Control Panel>System>System Restore(tab). At the top of this screen there should be a check box, if it's emty check it otherwise leave it be.

Next go into safe-mode, to do this restart your machine and after the bios screen comes up but before the windows screen comes up hit F8 a few times. A menu of options should come up. Of that list choose Safe-Mode with networking (this way you can still do updates if nessicary).

Now that your in safe-mode update and run spybot and adaware. Make sure that you update them, if you don't they will miss a significant amount of spyware. You may want to clear out your temporary internet files before doing this to make the scan run faster (control panel>internet options>delete files).

Finally to return to normal mode just restart your machine again. If you wish you can also turn system restore again by going back to the screen where you disabled it and now removing the check box.

Oh as one last note it would be a good idea to download a Winsock Fix (http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html) program before you run all of this. Basically sometimes removing spyware screws up winows' networking and this program repairs it. If you can't get online after removing spyware run this program and everything should work.

Good Luck!
