Keyboards noises from laptop

Mr.Cookie · 25 Aug 2013 at 22:13

Hi All

My laptop this evening has started making intermittent noises of a mechanic keyboard being typed, it is very random and vary in length of noise. I have done virus scans and malwarebytes, also done a google search and found one hit which suggested virus, malware or interference over wireless.

Any thoughts
Simon

Ps it's not the ghost of christmas past

nope literally like you would get from a keyboard when you type depending on how much you were typing, tap tap tap or tap tap tap tap tap tap tap.

I have to ask, you don't happen to have it so the mic plays through the speakers?

Next time it happens, Turn net off, If the noise continues then it is some program that runs on your machine. Maybe :O

hi mic is disabled as it affects usb guitar jack, and it's not frequent enough to be me typing and also sound is muted on pc. I have turned off wifi and it did seem to stop but that doesn't rule out anything as would stop interference and hacking.

It's been quiet for the last 30 minutes so if/when it happens again i'll pop in a network cable and disable wifi.

It could point to a program instead of coming from a person online
