    I removed some Spyware and Malware (although some may exist). It found some Windows files and took them.

    Since then I am having some problems:
    When I type my keyboard misses some keys and generally typing slower. I don't know why.

    also

    When I press Alt+Cltr+Del Ihave to click it it 3 before Windows Task Manager opens

    also

    If I close a program inn Windows Task Manager, or Notepad, it makes a large beep (even when the sound is turned off)

    Grrr, even when I type this, its frustating, the keys miss and its so slow...

    Any thoughts? I am using XP.

    Hi

    If you think some malware still may exist then before tackling sorting any drivers out I would first make very sure you are fully free from malware first and the below guide should help, just remember to attach your logs from the guide to a new post in our malware forum, all the links are below.



    Then once you get the all clear from our malware experts, and your PC is still acting funky then please do re-visit this thread and mention you have the all clear, then we can go from there, but trying to get your issuse fixed before being malware free, may just have us and you running around in circles, as malware is known to cause issues like you have posted above.

    install malwarebytes run the scan, if the problem exist download Avast free version and do a boot-time scan. This should solve the problem

    Hi

    If you follow the guide I posted thats in the quote you will be good to go, will need to start a new thread in our malware forum and attach the logs so the malware experts can review them and give you an all clear. Simple scans from apps do not always resolve the problem which is why I suggest our read and run me guide as it has custom scans that are not found anywhere else, they give locations of possible malware infection to a trained eye, especially as this type of malware can be a pain to find.

    You did actually post in our malware forum but never followed up HERE
