• keyboard typing on its own

  whenever I have leave my computer idle for about 1 minute and then start to move the mouse or type something a row of letter 'q' is written in the box as if its holding down, or if there is no zone I hear beep from the windows by default.  everything first this thing was going to last for 1 second, but now it lasts 10 seconds with that repetition annoying beep, I use programs like ccleaner and speed up my PC to clean and fix PC problems, so I don't know if this is due to some system files or the registry I deleted by mistake, I did a full scan by McAfee , but nothing showed up, also controlled for update my drivers, I even unplugged the USB receiver for my keyboard and wireless mouse but still this thing continues to be on!

  Hmm - another problem with the letter 'q' in two days. Here's what I did the last time.
  See how you go.

  It may be a virus/malware or the key-logger/hijacker.  Have you run a scan time of full boot with your anti-virus?

  (turn off your regular AV before running the scan with Malwarebytes as have two at the same time may cause conflicts).

  Malwarebytes: Download free anti-malware

  Take a look at your list of startup programs to see if there is something with Windows launch
  that looks suspicious (type msconfig in the Run Start command menu or the search bar for)
  Open the System Configuration). If necessary to disable it and try to find its location if you can uninstall/remove it.

• Does anyone else have an iMac that starts typing on its own?

  I try to type a password and the computer just starts typing, indefinitely. I'll write an email and the computer hits back again and again and again. Then it starts to beep me - the beep that says: "has already hit this key! I have no control over what he types. My only recourse is to restart, which works most of the time. Until yesterday.

  This goes on 5 months patiently trying a bunch of solutions, none worked. Of course, it produced intermittently, making it much more difficult.  However I called and talked to a counselor while he was hoping it would help. Nope.

  I went through 5-6 people from Apple for probably 7 + hours on the phone. Finally, they said make a genius bar appt and bring it in. Yes, I did. The whole darn 27 "thing. They gave me a new keyboard to try. Nope. They suggested I have reinstall the latest system. Yes, I did. Nope.

  I'm getting pretty well supplied upward.

  I will say, in all the conversations I've had, I'm pinned a rude woman. Each representative was pleasant and everyone has, according to me, tried very hard to make it work.

  Unfortunately the last woman I spoke with, a Counsellor who gave me his phone number and extension, did not return either my emails, nor my phone messages.

  So I'm screwed out of. When he arrives, of course, I can't use my machine $2000 +. Fortunately, I have a laptop or I would scream bloody murder. Maybe I need to start screaming bloody murder. I want that they fix it or give me a new. 5 months is enough.

  Someone else has a computer that writes on its own? Of course, I'd advice anyone can offer.

  I've had this happen a couple of weeks - except that it was on my end 2012, Mac Mini, on which I had just done a clean install of El Capitan.  The Mac Mini was using the Apple bluetooth - like the iMac keyboard.

  I've only had the question on the login screen - it would just start repeatedly typing in the password field.  To solve - and to see if was indeed a problem with the keyboard - I went to a wired keyboard - and the problem stopped.  This little told me it was the keyboard.  To troubleshoot further - I happened to have a spare identical keyboard - so I have the bluetooth of the iMac keyboard odd and not matched the keyboard problem of the Mac Mini.  I paired the keyboard blue tooth with the Mac Mini iMac and paired the bluetooth problem with the iMac keyboard.  I did a reset SMC, PRAM/NVRAM reset and start secure on the iMac and Mac Mini (precaution).  The problem never happened again.  I was not yet the keyboards of return - and it has been a few weeks.  If you do not have a wired keyboard or bluetooth spare parts - you could try the following:

  1 turn off your iMac keyboard pairing.

  2. join your iMac keyboard

  3 stop the iMac

  4 perform a SMC reset (iMac, you delete all the devices to the iMac - unplug the power cord at the back of the iMac.)  Wait at least 15 seconds.  Reattach the power cord to the iMac.  Wait at least 5 seconds.  Press the button.

  5. when the iMac restarts - stop it again.

  6 reset the PRAM (memory NVRAM) - by simultaneously pressing the keys CMD OPTION P and R, after hearing the boot chime.  Keep hold the keys until you hear the chime again.  Then keep hold the keys down until you hear one more chime.  Release the keys - let the iMac start.

  7 judgment of the iMac, once again.

  8. perform a startup by holding down the left SHIFT key when you hear the boot chime.  Now keep the left SHIFT key until you see the progress during the start bar.  On the login screen - it should be a message from Red starting at the top right of the screen.  Allow the iMac to sit at the display of connection for 5 minutes.  Connect to iMac - (it will be slower than normal).  Allow the iMac to sit to the desktop for about 5 minutes - do not run all the apps.  After 5 minutes - stop the iMac.

  9 start the iMac and Note If the keyboard is no longer slap on its own.

• keyboard changed on its own!

  I have a MacBook Air 3.1 (OS X 10.6.8).) These days many of the keys on my keyboard have changed meaning (on their own!). The letters are OK, but punctuation, parentheses, accents etc seem to comply with some other keyboard. If I go to System Preferences and then the keyboard I donat see a way to change things. I tried to do a reset SMC, but in vain. What can I do? Thank you

  Have you checked the system preferences > keyboard > input methods.  On the left column, do you have what language selected?

• I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware.

  I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware. They said that they were connected with Windows, so I asked if they were Microsoft and they said that no Microsoft would not call me. Wouldn't be a darn good Microsoft. The guy was Indian or Pakistani and wouldn't give me a company name, no matter how many times I asked.

  They said they received reports from my computer it has been infected. The last call I let them go through their process to prove to myself that my computer has been infected. They told me to go to the event viewer, logs of windows, applications and said there will be errors and warnings there.

  It was proof that he was infected and that they wanted to give me their approval to scan my computer so their 'Microsoft engineers' can solve the problem with Windows tools. At this point, after 20 minutes, I denied their access to the computer and hung up that it had no proof that I was worried. One of our friends had the same call on fixing Windows sound, she had an Apple Mac, I would have liked to see their difficulty its version of Windows.

  I have 3 questions for this and they are: -.

  1 can. anyone if your computer is infected using the event viewer?

  2 can they tell if she is infected when the computer has a firewall and is also behind a router with a firewall?

  3. I would be right in thinking that there is another form of the scam fake phone call?

  1. If possible, get the errors or warnings in the event viewer is quite common, but say you have a virus just based on that, it's simply stupid.

  2. they do what is called call cold. They call every phone # in the phone book and say "your computer is infected" even if you do not, Yes, it's a scam and yes they are stupid.

  3. Yes. The only way they would be able to tell if your computer has a virus would be if they had access to it, and if they have BEEN with microsoft, which is not, it would be a breach of privacy.

• Keyboard has its own life!

  I have a brand new T410i.     Running Windows 7.    I got it for a few days.   A couple of times already they keyboard has just gone 'crazy' on me.    I'll be typing away and then the cursor moves to the right, text will erase as I type it.  It happened when I was browsing the web and it will click links on its own... or if I do a Google search, search to return results once it will just open one of the links... The pointer will be difficult to control.    The only thing that fixes it is when I stop and restart Windows.    No rhyme or reason as to what triggers it.   My laptop was on during a few hours today and then he began to act up.    Any ideas?   I checked the drivers and according to Windows, it uses more updated drivers.

  I think that I was infected by spyware or something malicious (on my Windows XP desktop), my IE8 has began to show many windows pop up despite the blocker, the system is somewhat slowed down, and the browser redirects to unrelated web pages. I tried to clean it with Windows defender, IOBit Security 360 system restore, go to Firefox and nothing seems to help, any suggestions?

• fsmgroup called sayinhg that my computer has been infected with spyware

  I had been contacted by twice saying that you had advised the (supposedly legitimate third-party provider you?) to call me as my computer ID showed that I had been infected with spyware + report fsmgroup error warning. I carefully allowed them remote access where they have ran spyware inf and demonstrated on a 1000 Trojans.  I said several times that I wasn't going to buy anything and they said that they were not selling anything and that they were working on your behalf for me rid of bugs that will eventually lead to my PC to hang with a blue and black screen. However, the only way to solve the problem was to buy a plan. When I refused to purchase the plan, they started the files removed from my spyware in location, despite my asking them to stop - I turned off my computer to stop. I asked them why they did not respect my wishes and they couldn't answer. The person said it had deleted the wrong file and then hung up.  I caused damage to my computer. I can see no longer the same disks and I thought that it had removed the demand of c: Windows drive | INF.  There still a lot of files in this folder (more than 1000) which have been reproduced with an extention. PNF.  Are these files malicious indeed, if yes, what can I do? Also it damage by deleting anything in this area. I ran Malwarebytes and found no errors.

  I am very concerned. Please can you help.

• CD/DVD player open on its own - Equium L40

  Hello

  I have a laptop Equium L40-10 X recently purchased from Pc World. It has been working fine until recently my reader of cd/dvd broke open on its own. I closed it and then about 10 minutes later he did it again. This happens from time to time. After some research I found that it could be a problem of spyware. Scanned and deleted all traces etc. Problem seemed to have disappeared, but alas, the disc once more burst open.

  Recently the drive does not read disks as well. It seems to work when it wants at any time from 10 seconds up to an hour at a time. Things became an own mind... and when it doesn't, the button to open the player doesnâ? t seem to work. I have to use a paper clip to open the player.

  I have a laptop haunted or there is something wrong.

  Did someone has had an experience of something like it before or give me advice on what to do?

  Thank you, Jon.

  Hi mate

  I didn't noticed anything like this before, but I assume that it s a mechanical problem.
  Don t think that 3rd party software (program, spyware, virus, etc.) could cause this problem.
  In addition, you said that the drive does not read disks as well.

  In this case, I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country and ask for the disc and if necessary audit for a replacement disk WEIRD.

  If the warranty is valid replacement should be done for free.

  Best regards

• I have a problem with scrolling of mouse working on its own.

  Original title: in Windows 7, how can I stop popups, scrolling & other activities when I do click on the mouse.

  I recently moved from XP if it is not a problem.

  (1) while I read a website or a Word doc & move the cursor out of the way, it opens up the popups for no matter what cursor passes over, distract from what I'm trying to do.

  (2) in Word, when I try to highlight something to change or clear, somehow the cursor goes into scrolling on its own & does not allow me to highlight what I want.

  Basically, I would turn the mouse in what it was on XP because the "intuitive" nonsense is not help. If I want to see the popup, I can always right click. I have need it automatically sends me garbage.

  Y at - it a setting that I have not been able to find? I was well as the mouse settings and tried various combinations, but this feels like a more basic configuration question. If so, how should I do?

  Thank you

  Earl

  Thanks for your help with this.

  For some reason, the mouse was activating stuff (pop ups, etc.) when I checked precisely not to do.

  I tried what you suggested. What seems to have worked replaces the mouse. I had an arrangement to use a single set of keyboard/monitor/mouse with 3 computers, requiring the use of a mouse with the old pins instead of USB. I'm trying to do with 2 units of mouse and it seems fine. Don't know why, but I'm satisfied.

  Thanks again,

  Earl

• selectingitems and trackpad pointer moves its own

  I was watching a video of Amazon and may have struck a couple of keys, or my hand slipped in the keys - I don't know, but pointer froze on the follow-up to the film bar at the bottom of the screen (not sure if this is relevant, or what is called in fact this bar) in all cases, the pointer froze and then began to move erratically in bursts on the screen , selection of apps, ibooks, photos, etc. and then OPEN them as if I had clicked. Literally goes haywire as if it had a life of its own. I have NEVER experienced this during the 11 years that I've had the Mac laptop. I don't know if trackpads wear out (my current MacBook Pro is a vintage 2012 and I debated update, but it was working very well.) I wonder how to clean the dust/debris under keys because I know it can be done and I was wondering if something got under the trackpad (seems pulled by the hair) but it's really another question for me to continue. Any help on trackpad possessed pointer would be appreciated. I don't see that this issue anywhere else... - Pam

  Remove the bottom plate and inspect the inside.  Pay attention to the battery to see if there are signs of expansion.  If so, take it out and have a new installed.  An extended battery can affect the trackpad.

  If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.
