Resolved Question

Strings of Zeroes apears in any field

by Apr 25, 2014 6:50AM PDT

As soon as i open a page that contains a field (to enter text)..immediately that fields is filled continuously with zeros.
Example: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

This occurs for example if I click start; then the run text box immediately begins to get filled with zeros.
Same with windows explorer, notepad, ect..
I updated and ran both Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes. Nothing found.
The zero key on the keyboard is not pressed in.
?? Perplexing.
Alkmost sure its a Viru but why hasn't MSE caught it?

Thanks

Try another. Run scans with other than MSE such as MBAM, SAS.
