Obnoxious Nonsense-Typing Malware

Mr. Scissors · Mar 22, 2009

I was playing TF2 when I suddenly started moving in ways I was not inputting. At first I though one of my friends was playing a prank on me with a connected keyboard or Back Orifice, but upon further inspection, it was the same string of nonsense every time being entered. It seems to happen when a certain number of keys is pressed in close chronological proximity. I have been able to replicate it in command prompt and Notepad. It is stopping me from playing TF2. Please help me diagnose this!

If it is relevant, the string looks very close to this: "dddaaa dBadBBDDDBcaadad d a da dqeqeqqeqeqeqqqd d w awcc". There are also additional right and left mouse button inputs in the pattern. "n" is also pressed a couple times, but I didn't get it in the test. For the most part, it looks exactly the same each time.

Hi. If you suspect malware then please follow all of the below. Until you do I am unable to assist you.

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.

TDSSserv Non-Plug & Play Driver Disable

If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.

Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

Helpful Notes:

If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can run steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

Starting your computer in Safe mode

If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

To avoid addtional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advise that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!. Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.

Thanks
