Title: Virus that fills text boxes on their own?
Post by: TheChza on March 20, 2004, 12:45:13 PM

Anytime I am on a site, such as Google, or anything that features a form with text boxes, odd things happen. Usually weird symbols will appear in the text box highlighted, then those symbols will turn into text, not complete sentences though. Is this a virus? How to correct it?

Have you done the basics? Like update your AV and run it. That's the first step.
If that doesn't work have you got an anti-Spyware/Dodgyware program?
Try the AV first then post back. Keeping in touch is the way to learn and everyone benefits from the experience.
