What's wrong with my computer?
It shuts down by itself a number of times. I just searched Adele in one tab while viewing the DL in another tab and then when I went back to the adele tab, the following was typed into google search: LWH HIMIIHD EIJIJI
I didn't type this. I've been noticing a lot especially when I use google search. I'll enter one thing into google search and another thing which I didn't type will show up.
What's wrong with my computer?
- Run a virus scan.
- The problem is coming from INSIDE YOUR COMPUTER!
- LWH HIMIIHD EIJIJI
- Pronto. In safe mode
- That time of the month.
- OP - what sort of computer, operating system, age & browser?
- It's mocking you.
- Choink!
- In addition to a virus scan do a malware scan. If you have malware you may need to format your hard drive.
If you don't find a virus or malware you may need to replace your battery or power source if it is shutting down on its own.
But it sounds like a redirect virus and even if you think you've fixed it, it's never really gone. So it's worth the effort to format and reload your operating system.
- you in danger, girl!!!!!!
- get out!!! the typing is coming from inside the house!!
- OP if you are black remember that the librarians will fix the computers themselves.
- Hisssssssss!
OP's Hissing Eldergay Comptuer (OPHEC)
- I have my own question. Last night my computer started to smell like burning plastic. When I looked inside everything seemed fine. What parts should I look at to see where the problem is? I tried sniffing around but everything smelled like burnt plastic.
- The fan.
- THE TYPING IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE KEYBOARD!!!!!!!!!
- OP --
Answer R6's questions.
- The problem may be that it isn't a Mac.
- It was you, from the future, trying to find this thread.
- LOL R8, that's the first thing I thought of too when I saw "LWH HIMIIHD EIJIJI".
- LOL@ R16!! I get it! Like that babysitting slasher movie.
- Google the anti-malware free program,
Malawarebytes. Put it on your desktop. Run it and see if you have malware. This is a good reliable program and was reviewed by cnet dot com.
- Shuts down like turns itself off?
- OP does it overheat? Check temperatures with HWMonitor.

- Yes R23 Some viruses or malware will do this. The operating program will shut down and the computer will turn off and/or reboot.
- Hire this guy

- I guess the typing from inside the keyboard finally got the OP. It's probably a good thing.
I am an an IT guy so if you answer my question then I can probably help you OP (unless you really are in danger, girl...)
R6
- The problem is likely somewhere between the chair and the keyboard.
- R21, you are savvy!
no one, ever
- You in danger, url!
- Sounds like you're leaning on the keyboard. Computers aren't that interesting. It's probably user input that you're just too hysterical to realise. Calm down, Mary.
- If you searched Adele, the fat obese bitch probably ate your hard drive.
