I just started getting a problem where words start typing on my computer by themselves. It happens in Word or in boxes like this one. It also happens when I am not online. I have run Norton and do not find a virus(yes, it is cuurent). I also get tons of returned emails in my email that I never sent. My comptuer is very slow now. Please help.

Do you have speech recognition turned on with a live mic??

not I know of, how can I check

Hello... Have you tried Spybot Search & Destroy, Adaware SE, CWShredder, SpywareBlaster, McAfee Avert Stinger and Trojan Remover?? Do you have a firewall such as ZoneAlarm or Sygate? You can get Spybot Search & Destroy, Adaware SE, CWShredder, SpywareBlaster & McAfee Avert Stinger all at majorgeeks.com. You can get Trojan Remover at simplysup.com It is the 30 day trial version, but unlike a lot of programs, it actually will scan and remove anything it finds during the 30 day trial period. It is an excellent program. I went ahead and bought the pro version. You can get a firewall at zonelabs.com. Not too sure where you can get sygate firewall, maybe at majorgeeks as well. I personally have ZoneAlarm, I upgraded to the paid pro version on that too. After you download all these, update them first and then do a complete scan. They are excellent programs. Lot's of luck to you... --Viv :) Never enter a battle of wits with an unarmed person...

I do have Ad Aware but now when I open it, it says reference file not found. i just got Zone Alarm. I will try the others. Will this help with the returned emails I keep getting? Thanks for all your help

Well, I dunno about the returned emails, but the programs will remove spyware, adaware, and anything else that is lurking in the computer, which can be responsible for the slow computer. I would uninstall your Adaware and reinstall it, be sure to get the SE version, update and scan. Then do all the others. What type of email do you use? I would run another Nortons scan or go to : http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/startcorp.asp This is a free online scan. If Nortons doesn't find anything try that one. You might have some sort of email virus. --Viv :) Never enter a battle of wits with an unarmed person...

Hey, check out that speech recognition thing teri suggested. Especially if you've got a microphone plugged in. I had this same problem some time ago and after troubleshooting for so long, I found out that it WAS that speech recognition program that was causing me problems. *Shakes head in disbelief*
