Title: Auto delete virus?
Post by: REDACTED on February 01, 2015, 03:31:08 AM

when I select anything (shortcut icon or a directory or even when I bring up task manager it) it prompts me if I want to move item (icon, folder) to the recycle bin or if I want to end the task highlighted.   If I move the cursor within a body of text the laptop starts deleting all text beyond the cursor...it's like the delete (not the backspace) key is constantly being pressed.

if so, what malware name is given by avast?
