    The way to get rid of the advertisements is to become a premium member. Plus you can see boobs in the premium section.

    Did you add a subscription option when enabling Adblock plus? That step is easy to over look and it's not very effective without it.




    Edit, Too late. Didn't read all of your second post.

    Threats aren't nice. If you would like to post a thread, however, go to the appropriate category (NSFW, Off-Topic, etc.) and there is an option on the top of the page to start a new thread.

    I have seen the future and I'm fairly relieved to say, it looks nothing like me.

    Go to Majorgeeks.com, the left section find 'anti spyware', find and install spyware blaster. Also install Spybot Search and Destroy. You can find that in either the anti-virus section, or the anti-spyware section.

    nevermind. just realized I'm almost a year late with this.

    I've changed your status to a "trusted member". You should be able to post without any issues.

    I also removed all that "Trucking Service" garbage from your profile.

    I'm gonna post in here because the thread title is 'Computer Help.' My questions doesn't have anything to do with MDS, but the letter I doesn't always show up while typing. I hit it, but it doesn't come up and I have to go back and hit it again. It just started doing this within the past couple of days.

    Anyone know why this would happen?

    I've been told that someone may have a key stroke thingy on my puter and that might be why. Is this true? How do I find out if there is a key stroke thing on my puter and how do I get rid of it?

    The "Y" on my keyboard at home stopped working a while ago. I'm too lazy to buy a new one so I've been using my iPad instead. haha.

    Are you friends with WTB on facebook? She's a computer whizz and I'm sure I've seen her explain to people how to check for key logger thingys and get rid of them.

    I don't know if you've tried this already but do you have a can of air to spray under the keys? Sometimes something will get stuck under a key and make it so you have to press a few times. And make sure you reboot!

    It's my laptop, so I haven't used a different keyboard.

    I am friends with WTBB on FB, I will have to try her after I try moosella's suggestion. I haven't tried the can of air thing.

    Thanks guys!

    It's where someone has a code on your computer and every thing you type is sent to them. Fraud people and crazy ex's like them.

    Didn't even realize there was only one 'B.' I don't know if I am friend's with WTB or not. I got an influx of requests and don't remember who everyone is IRL vs. MDS name.

    She doesn't come around much any more which is why I assumed you probably aren't facebook friends. I can message her for you though. She's lovely and always very helpful

    ETA: The name confusion thing was my fault. I was going to put her full mds username but then I confused myself over what it was and couldn't find a member list. I was going to PM you and then check facebook to see if you were friends but my take away arrived and I got distracted and forgot

    She's on my FB, I can reach out to her. You might just Google "Key Loggers" Also, AVG free is awesome and free. For non techies, another good free program to fix your PC is Advanced System Care. It fixes registry errors, looks for malware etc and generally fixes a bunch of crap. Between the two of those and spybot that someone else mentioned it should check out your machine. First thing I would do, to eliminate hardware, would be to plug in a USB keyboard and see if the problem replicates.

    I sprayed my keyboard with a can of air. It seems to be helping. I haven't noticed the "I" missing from anything since.

    I do have Norton 360. Can I, or do I need AVG or Advanced System Care?

    I don't have Norton on my desktop and only use AVG. It doesn't seem to have any problems.

    I'm completely challenged when it comes to this stuff and appreciate everyone's help!
