Does anyone else have this problem?

Over the past month, whenever I go to Y/A and start answering questions, my keyboard will not operate for a minute or two. Then I receive a message that infections have incurred and to run the Anti-virus program. This only happens when I am Y/A and when I run the program, the majority of infections are tracking cookies. The last two days, I have had to clean off 45 infections. It is happening right now and is making it difficult to type this question.

    No, I have never had this problem. Try hitting the Insert key, as that deletes words run over. Hit it and see if there is a difference. Also, your computer could be infected by the Conficker C and it could be screwing with your computer right now. It shuts down all your AntiVirus, so they won't work. Your best bet is shut down the computer. Wait for a day. If it still is doing that, then call somebody(either Geek Squad or RoadRunner) and they can come out and fix it.

    You should get off YA and never come back. Different sites give different computers viruses, and YA happens to give your computer viruses. So, for the safety of your computer, RUN FOREST RUN!
