Every time I click my scroll bar, either up or down it goes all the way to the top or bottom. I can't stop it. Same thing happens using the arrow keys, page up or page down.

Anyone else had this problem? Is it a virus of some sort ?

I had major problems with my Pc, PC world can feck off, Got an IT person out and it took him 3 hours to clear the viruses and bugs and now my machine is running like a Ferrari. Cost £130 but well worth the money.

7/10 machines are infected with viruses and total shit. Having an engineer around and with their free discs will put a stop to the irrigating scum that causes you're PC to be a pain in the arse.

or buy norton system works and a firewall for about £40 and do it yourself in half an hour?

£130? :eek: You paid an IT guy who charges £43 an hour? 60 minutes of your own time reinstalling Windows would have done the job.

Sounds a lot Terrace. I'd have done it for £40.

Yep, it only happens when using Internet Explorer. Excel, Word, MSN etc all fine. Can't find anything in settings that might impact it though?

Have you been drinking again?

I am suggesting that something sticky has got in your keyboard.

Get a new keyboard. The ones that come with computers are naff anyway.

I have not had the same problem, but three times I have had a similar sort of one, when I press a key it stays on and I get everlasaing hash signs across the screen. I thought virus first, beause this would be a very irritating trick.

Turning off and on sometimes works, but the problem comes back eventually.

Put the keyboard in the dishwasher for a clean does not work.
