Computer bug? "------- x100"

[[SD]Isidro]

Hey!


I'm on my other computer, it's slower and older, and that being because my faster computer has a problem/bug:

My computer does this "------------ x380" everytime i try to type something. Like i try to log on silk road and type my name it looks like


----a--nd---r--------e (example)

It seems like the "dash" key on my keyboard is the problem, but when i disconnect my keyboard, its still making those dashes, making it impossible for me to log on to silkroad because i cant even get my pw or type it right.


This first happened when i logged on to SRO, and 5 min later i realized this ---- thing. I tried quarantining all my viruses i found with the sweep and i restarted/boot back my comp like 5 times and it's still acting up.


Anyone know anything about this?

download spybot search and destroy and run that and see if that helps, also make sure the scroll/num keys are pushed, and if they scan fails to help switch the keyboard with the one on your old computer and see if it makes s diffrence, if there is one, trash your keyboard that u currently have on ur good computer and get a new one, if not it might be something more serious.

It's not the keyboard because i unplugged the keyboard and its still doing the -------------- thing.

and where can i download that spy thing? i already have spysweeper and i quarantined all of the files that got detected and it didnt help.

No point in Quarantine a VIRUS... persoanlly if you ask me.. if my comp had a virus.. REINSTALL OS ....

But again, reinstallation depends on how comfortable ur with computer... try to c if you can get hold of some1 to reinstall ur OS..

Gud luck.
