"Presses music button"

dlf

Keyboard I'm using is a Microsoft SIDEWINDER X4 Wired Gaming Keyboard that I bought last year. Works fine for the most part but it seems the media keys - specifically the play/pause button has decided that when I press it - either to play or pause music that it won't always play or pause.   For example I have music playing right now, some of the time If I press the key to pause it will but for a few seconds that turn right back on.

 

I'd presume a virus (or other malware) could potentially cause this, I've ran a few full system scans  with NOD 32 - I also have Microsoft Security Essentials, Spybot & Maleware bytes -  most likely overkill I'd think  . . . . .

Could be something as simple as faulty contacts with the plate. You may want to clean out your keyboard behind the keys and the like.

I doubt that it's a virus, why would anyone write one to do something so pointless?
