Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a strange problem on a users PC. &nbsp;The PC started to type ,. all by itself every couple of seconds. (,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.)<wbr /><br />
<br />
The original PC was very old so I replaced it with a newly re-formatted Dell Vostro, Win7 64-bit &amp;&nbsp;Symantec Endpoint Protection (v12.1.1101.401 RU1 MP1). &nbsp;The same problem has started to happen again!! &nbsp;I've had the user change keyboard &amp;&nbsp;mouse, reboot. &nbsp;Nothing makes a difference. &nbsp;The user is remote and I haven't been able to safemode yet.<br />
<br />
Has anyone seen this behaviour before? &nbsp;It sounds like a virus.

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
