Lately iv'e been having some major problems with my laptop. It first started a few days ago while playing a game. Out of no where i started moving by myself and shooting by myself which I then realized it was constantly pressing w a s d 1 e q shift space bar and left click aswell as other keys in that general area (keys that I mostly use while gaming). It had been annoying me a lot and had been on and off and after I while I figured that every time I right clicked it would start happening. I really have no idea how this could be happening. I had downloaded some things on the day it started but iv'e since deleted them and have ran a full system scan using Norton. Somebody please help me! I really have no idea and I would appreciate it very much! Thank you.
Delete Norton, download Malwarebyte's and run a scan. Could be just keys getting stuck though?
I thought that at first to but it only happens once I right click and then I have to right click again to stop it. Its definetly not the keys getting stuck. Also why delete Norton? That cost a lot of money.

Whats wrong with Norton? I like it. It works for me.
What games are you playing? This is normal when the game doesn't use direct input; it doesn't detect when you've let go of keys so it thinks you're still pressing them. Make sure you have updated drivers for your keyboard and mouse, then make sure that nothing steals your focus while playing the game, for example try closing Norton and see if the problem persists.
Uninstall Norton (oh well you wasted money it happens to all of us) Install Microsoft Security Essentials Install Malwarebytes (for scanning only) Install Spybot: S&D (for scanning only)
I have no problem with norton. If it's not causing you problems I don't recommend uninstalling it for free alternatives.
[QUOTE=Naelstrom;32323527]I have no problem with norton. If it's not causing you problems I don't recommend uninstalling it for free alternatives.[/QUOTE] Its not Norton. And currently im playing Team Fortress 2 and Borderlands but its not only in the games it can be during anything. Maybe its to do with the drivers. Ill try updating them.
