Random pop-ups and capitalization issues in my browser... help!

Hey there,

So, this whole mess started right after I installed Windows 10. Out of nowhere, my browser (Firefox) just loses its mind and starts typing in all caps even though Caps Lock is off. Then, the touchpad dies on me, the cursor moves like it’s stuck in molasses, and whenever I try to type a URL, it forces a ".info" domain on me (like, instead of google.com, it hits google.info). Click a link? Instead of a new tab, it forces a whole new window. Just a bunch of absolute nonsense. A quick reboot fixes everything, but it keeps happening—maybe once every two days.

Avast says everything is clean. Norton says the same thing.

But here’s the kicker: I’m running a dual-boot setup, so I use Unix too, and the exact same crap happens there (using Firefox again).

Any clue what could be causing this nightmare?

Seriously, nobody else? It just happened again.

Temperatures are spiking straight to 100 degrees (I literally just cleaned this thing two weeks ago and swapped out the thermal paste).

Try running Norton, AdwCleaner, JRT, and HitmanPro—plus maybe some other antivirus software—to give your computer a deep scan and see if that does the trick.
