I got a Virus!

moderategamer · May 11, 2016

Like the title says I got a Virus and it's a nasty one don't have a clue where it came from but it does some pretty messed up stuff basically it's just spamming the delete key so anything I click on it tries to delete of course I didn't realise this till after I had went on to my emails and lost some 36 important emails so basically I'm in a bind. I wan't to re install windows but I have some important files/data on my SSD boot drive which I cant transfer to either of my other storage drives because if I click on them it will just continually try to delete them, I can't boot in to safe mode because it will always boot in to the bios and I could be wrong but I don't think I can get in to safe mode from the bios. I'm running a virus scan atm but I don't expect much from it. I think I might have system restore set up but I'm not sure I'll have a look.

Anyone got any suggestions for me that differ from what I'm trying? Could be a keyboard malfunction to be honest but I doubt it as I've only had this keyboard for a few months and I've done nothing to it that would damage it Plus it still does it when I disconnect it.

When you reboot the computer spam F8, that will bring up the menu to boot into safe mode.

Try a different keyboard, doesn't sound like a virus tho. Might be a stuck key

Very much agree; Either the virus has infected your motherboard, or you have a stuck key. From those two, its probably just a stuck key.

I thought that as well but when I boot without the keyboard it still does it plus my pc is acting weird in other ways too it's really slugish and YT videos are choppy whenever I move my mouse.
