    how can I get rid of popups while typing

    Hello everyone,

    I'm a newbe to these forums and I hope this is the right one for my problem.

    Everytime I try to type emails or anything else for that matter things keep popping up, form for email, im forms etc. and many times emails get sent before I'm ready.

    Don't know what causes this to happen - some sort of speed keys - I don't need this or want it. I just want to type without interference of any kind. How do I deactivate this pain in the %%,%? Things were popping up as I typed this.

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    what keyboard are you using? does it have any software with it? have you enabled any macro keyboard shortcuts in the past?

    have you enabled "sticky keys"? (control panel/ease of access center/make the keyboard easier to use , uncheck sticky keys)

    might be a good idea just to do a virus scan and malware/spyware scan too just to eliminate any nasty's

    Sure sounds like you got a pesky little varmit... that or what Archie123 posted about "siticky Keys"

    If you have MalawareBytes, run it in Safe Mode... make sure you are all updated before running it though. If it finds a couple or few worms, make sure you delete your system restore afterwards and turn it back on so you can create a fresh (read: clean) restore point.

    If you don't have it, download it for FREE here... Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

    I'll make a wild guess that 'agita' is agitation.

    Thanks everyone -agita is just an expression - in other words this problem is a pain in the %%&.

    Tried to type an email a little while ago and so many things kept popping up that I felt like pitching this laptop out the window.

    Open file, save webpage just popped up as I'm typing - thanks for being there
