    Possible BIOS Malware?

    Hello,

    I have an issue on 2 of my PC’s (and i’ve seen it on a 3rd PC of an ex) where it appears like the keyboard is broken, meaning keys are stuck. But the keyboard is not broken and the keys are not stuck.

    The issue on my first terminal is it will just be sitting there and suddenly the “T” key will just begin repeating on the screen indefinitely. Sometimes if I tap the T key and backspace a lot it will stop.

    The issue on the second pc is the windows key (or at least the T and windows key command appear on each screen could be software side not hardware) which will make the windows panel pop up like every few minutes.

    Ive tried wiping the drives and reinstalling windows many times. Please help. If I can figure out the issue is there a way to just deactive the windows key with a root command?? At least then I would know if its hardware or software

    Let’s see what’s going on.

    Download Autologger to your desktop.
    Disable your Anitivirus/Defender prior to running.

    [ul]
    [li]Unzip it there. – If you are unsure how to unzip a program, then use ---- http://www.7-zip.org/ ----[/li][li]Right click Autologger and run as administrator. (Xp user double click)[/li][li]AVZ4 will open and scan your machine, allow this to complete.[/li][li]Upload Collectionlog.zip to your next reply[/li][/ul]




    Please download FRST 64bit It is important FRST is downloaded to your desktop.
    Once downloaded right click the FRST desktop icon and select “Run as administrator” from the menu
    If you receive any security warnings, or the User Account Control warning opens at any time whilst using FRST you can safely allow FRST to proceed.
    FRST will open with two dialogue boxes, accept the disclaimer.

    [ol]
    [li]Then select Scan[/li][li]Frst will take a few minutes to scan your computer, and when finished will produce two log files on your desktop, FRST.txt, and Addition.txt. [/li][li]They will display immediately on the desktop, attach those both in your next reply.[/li][/ol]
