Does anyone out there knows about a "virus" that keeps writing random words. It happens only when i use IE and the page has a text im browsing has a text box, like google for example. I have the computer scanned with norton several times without any detection. It even happens without being connected to the net too. Taht thing takes a lot of resources, and seems like is doing nothing else but writing and eating the CPU.
It keep writing "......", "they" , and some other random words..yesterday it came with a name "O'connor", and the otehr day, with the word "CIA" and "house"..i dont know if it is following a song or something.
I went to look the processes and everything keeps unchanged before and after it starts doing the writing.
Does anyone have any clue?
Thanks

Well you could try a scan here:

What's listed when you press ctrl + alt + del?

But it sounds like it may be autocomplete that's doing it so click tools--internet options--content tab--autocomplete button--click the 'clear forms' button and uncheck the 'forms' box and then ok out and see if that stops it.
