    problem with keyboards
    « on: March 30, 2014, 12:48:24 PM »
    Hi, my computer was good to go this morning, then for some reasons the keyboard starts becoming messed up, i tried to reboot to see if that worked however each time i rebooted,the problem still persist and become worse, now all my keys stop working ,some keys when i pressed will become something irrevalant (ex: backspace = 83j, esc=$57) and even when i did nothing, my computer would keep spamming some random characters, first it was 4444444 then 9999 then hj or even spam enter or space  ) , my backspace and some numbers still worked earlier but after numerous attempt to reboots, they became messed up too.  :'(

    Hello and welcome to GeekPolice.Net My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. 

    1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
    2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
    3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
    4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
    5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
    6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
    7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

    If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.
    *************************************************************************
    You could start with trying another keyboard on the computer. That one could be defective. Please let me know if that solves the problem.
    I've never seen a MBAM log like that one. Could you please run it again.
    It appears that you have two AV's on your computer; Windows Defender and Symantec Endpoint Protection. One will have to be de-activated or uninstall. Only one AV and one Firewall allowed on any computer.


    *********************************************
    Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

    Warning! Once the scan is complete JRT will shut down your browser with NO warning.

    Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.

    •Temporarily disable your Antivirus and any Antispyware real time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.

    •Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click JRT and select Run as Administrator

    •The tool will open and start scanning your system.

    •Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.

    •On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.

    •Copy and Paste the JRT.txt log into your next message.
    *****************************************
    Update Your Java (JRE)

    Old versions of Java have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.


    First Verify your Java Version

    If there are any other version(s) installed then update now.

    Get the new version (if needed)

    If your version is out of date install the newest version of the Sun Java Runtime Environment.

    Note: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software offered with the Java update. The pre-checked toolbars/software are not part of the Java update.

    Be sure to close ALL open web browsers before starting the installation.

    Remove any old versions

    1. Download JavaRa and unzip the file to your Desktop.
    2. Open JavaRA.exe and choose Remove Older Versions
    3. Once complete exit JavaRA.

    Additional Note: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. To disable the JQS service if you don't want to use it, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click OK and reboot your computer.
