Without pressing any keys on the keyboard, my computer types ‘/’ infinitely at sporadic timings. At first I thought it might be a hardware problem, but I’ve unplugged the keyboard and the problem still persists. Ran a few scans using AVG, ad-aware and anti-malware (at different instances), but the scans turned out with nothing. I’m not sure what to do now, so if you guys can give me any advice, please do!
Thanks! : )
Unplug the internet from your router (or turn it off) or computer for one. Next would be to run a virus scan and see what comes up and let it do it thing. You should reboot and run in safe mode and start the virus scan if possible or needed if what ever it is is taking up enough recourses that the anti virus is having difficulty. Once done fallow the directions. You should also run a malware scan too, often this is included with some anti virus programs. If you don’t have one I would suggest malwarebytes. I have used it for many years and it is one of the better ones out there.
