My computer is constantly typing by itself
This issue first started when I was in Darkfall, suddenly it started typing "weird this isn't it?" So immediately I quit the game, I thought it had stopped until today.
I opened up firefox and went on youtube, my computer then proceeded to type "saaw dw aawaw aa dww" which is random gibberish. then I went to search for a video and it instead searched for this video and played it 
??
What is going on I asked myself I went on google to search this and it typed "name?"
However I am typing this and it's seemed to has stopped but im still worried, I think my computer may have been hacked but my antivirus can't find anything and I checked the task manager processes and theres nothing there please help me.
*Edit*
it's just started again I went to go onto another website and it typed "p with it bac?"
Thx in advance

Trinity is trying to contact you from within the Matrix.
That's not exacty helpfull...
But it could be true.
1. put windows dvd in your drive
2. format c:
3. install new windows
cheers
very weird Oo does the problem still persist if you are not online? There is a bunch of free antivirus ..just get some and let e all run test. (AVG., A-Square, Spybot search&destroy).... did you install teamviewer or something like this and a friend of yours is playing a trick on you?^^
Well i would format my computer and turn the router-settings to super-paranoid...weird shit
Sorry for my english
i have a microsoft sidewinder keyboard that has all these macros i can use.
i have the same issue. i somehow during mad gameplay trigger the keyboard to record a macro, then later on i trigger the macro with some keystrokes and my console goes nuts.
my character moves all over chats even types things i typed a long time ago.
wish i could turn this off somehow
Just checking.. But are you using a wireless keyboard?
Or what Zevian said..
Nobody has had access to my computer so I doubt it's a prank.
No it happened in windows search.
If I was to format my computer would I lose my files?
Well, I see 3 different possibilities:
1: Your keyboard is messing with you.
Solution: Get a new.
2. Your neighbors wireless keyboard affect your computer too.
Solution: Turn off the reciever and any bluetooth functions and try a cable keyboard.
3: Your computer is compromised and either hacked or have a virus.
Solution: Get a new firewall (Comodo or Zonealarm are good and free. Use a online virus scanner (your current might be hijacked) like this one: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
That should be helpful.
I have a sidewinder x8 mouse I recently got but no my keyboard is a standard logitech wired keyboard.
If you format yes. Get a cheap external hard drive save off what you want and format. Easiest way to save your stuff.
It almost sounds like the program PCAnyWhere or something like that on your comp, but you said that you do not think anyone is messing with your stuff.
Enjoy your trojan!
Seriously, there are only two real causes.
A: You are using a wireless keyboard, and someone else nearby is using a similar one and happens to be on the same frequency. This happens RARELY and generally in office environments as the other keyboard needs to be fairly close for cross talk like this to happen.
B: More likely, someone is using Netbus or some similar backdoor program into your system. Stop clicking mysterious links promising free things, bots, or telling you to enlarge things. Run a virus scan immediately, preferably ask someone who knows more about computers to do so as, no offense, you don't sound like you would know what's going on or how to detect/remove something like this. Depending on what it is the AV might not pick it up. I would try to stay offline until you clear it up as any time you are online, they're going to be able to remote in until the backdoor is cleared out.
Important question being if its happening while you're offline or only when you're online, but I have a sneaking suspicion there was an attempt to download some sort of Darkfall "modification" that has lead to your current fate.
Bans a perma, but so are sigs in necro posts.

No ones been near my computer, well no one with the know how to do this kind of thing. I will back up all the files I want to keep on to a external hardrive a format it I will post the results.
Yes, everything. While you could backup important file on another medium you could still keep any virus on it then.
It is recommended as a last option but in that case you should either get a large flashkey or a USB harddrive to backup copy important stuff to. Then you first install the antivirus before even thinking of moving anything back. And get a new antivirus, Comodo is free and rather good.
But this is only the final option.
I haven't downloaded anything recently.
My keyboard is not wireless
been any place on the web or have any reason that someone would target you with an active hack and not a passive trojan to get into your system?
It's a trojan, I'm sure of it. I've had alot of experience with trojans and the person is most likely using a RAT to hack you. You must have downloaded a file which was the trojan, and it gives him full access to your pc whenever you're connected to the internet. The antivirus won't detect it because it is "Being used by another person or program", making it sort of locked, and will be on your registry on startup, so that every time you restart your computer it will start automatically without you knowing. I PM'd you, and can help you get rid of it manually without the need of the antivirus, and after you get rid of it I suggest you use a better antivirus such as NOD32.
Currently I'm using spyware doctor, and I just tried to open it and... Everything and all the antivirus has been turned of and I can't turn them back on, I would never intentionally turn them of.
You have a trojan than .download an anti-virus (something else from yours may be nod32 ) and malwarebytes anti-malware and scan your pc first . Find source of problem ,it is probably hidden in something you downloaded (add-on or web site you visited installed something ) ,use firefox with no-script add-on for surfing on the net .
check langage setting ,you might have changed it without noticing !yes in game it happen for some reason
so if your setting was english but your using i dont dont say russian langage all kind of giberish will pop on compurter
as for auto typing there are setting that can auto complete what your writing so check to make sure proper setting are there if not sure put it in default everywhere
He can do anything to your pc unfortunately, even turn off your antivirus, and even delete the files needed to run it without you knowing.
the only thing I downloaded recently was microsoft silverlight so I could acess this website, http://feylines.net/yourmom/ Despite it's strange name is a highly reconmended darkfall map. I also know others use it and have not had any issues.
In all seriousness, you shouldn't rule out the possibility that you've developed some sort of mental illness. It's possible that it is indeed yourself that is typing these strange messages from beyond.
Many people end up living fairly normal lives once they find the correct balance of medication.
Best of luck to you and yourself.
I'm pretty sure I'm mentally fine....
Well that's exactly what I would expect you to say, you pour soul.
Just in case, I would definitely explore the other possibilities outlined in the other replies. The backdoor scenario seems quite possible.
All in fun my friend.
