Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my computer?

Question

For the last two days, my computer has been spazzing out on me. The text on the screen is at the largest setting possible. I try to change it, it might stay that way for a second or so, then switch back to the way it was. And while trying to type something, all of a sudden any one of a variety of screens will pop up as if a hotkey had been pressed. It might be the history screen, the run screen, or it might just change pages altogether. And if I click on the scroll bar to drag it and scroll down the page it keeps shifting back and forth to the top of the page really fast. I have to click on the down arrow to scroll down one line at a time to get it to work right. I cant figure out why it started doing this unless a trojan slipped past the Mcafee Total Protection Package. Oh, I'm running windows XP Home Edition

Hey darkshadow, if you are such a computer expert, why don't you come check it out for yourself if you think i'm lying. You can get your @$$ kicked at the same time. No wonder you don't accept IMs or emails. What would I have to gain by making this up? For everyone else that is actually trying to be helpful, I apologize for that. I have scanned the computer, did a system restore, and run a registry cleaner.

Answer 1

Might be something with the mouse, if the virus and adware scans don't find anything. I had a similar problem occur that was related to the mouse getting a jacked up connection and causing tons of pop ups and it seemed the PC was going 'haywire' Also make sure your keyboard isn't fried with coke or something too. a stuck key can be a bad thing.

I Think You Have The Homepage Virus. This Mainly Happens On Google, Yahoo, And Some Other Selcted Sites. What You Should Do Is Get A Virus Protector Or Norton To Remove This. Or Simply Just Wipe Your Computer Clean.Start From Sratch, Just Back Up You Documents And Important files.

Answer 3

I personnally think the Mcaffe is worthless, i had that for a long time, and it did nothing for me, i suggest AntiVir, its free and a small download (if you have dial up) Ive been much for sucessful with AntiVir. Back to the question. It definetly sounds like a virus. I had a virus once that siwtched the left and right mouse buttons and the start on the start button was switched with f*** i was very supprised, i suggest if you have the original XP home disk, then reformat your harddrive and put a fresh copy of Home on their, do a full format (not quick) and that should take care of that, if you can back up your necesary files on CDs or any extra hard drive.
