My computer is keylogging. How do I shut it off? |
|
I just reinstalled an older computer, it's XP, just updated to the 2nd Pak or service pak. Whenever I go to input something on DU it show memory strokes. How do I shut that feature off?

1. Not really sure what you mean |
|
Have a dig around in Control Panel > Accessibility Options. There may be something you can turn off.
If you actually have malware keylogging software on your machine, use Malwarebytes to find it.

2. I found the Accessibility Options, but I'm not sure which one to pick. |

Here's a better description of the problem:
When I come into DU each morning and type in my DU name, I just have to type in the first letter "T" and the entire name pops up "The Backlash Cometh."
On the next DU post that I respond to, if I type in "I found" in the subject line, it will give me the entire subject line of this post: "I found the Accessibility Options, but I'm.." etc.
For some reason, it's remembering my keystrokes the way that google does.

3. That's a browser setting |
|
Which browser are you using?

4. It's remembering form entries, not keystrokes per se |
|
In Firefox, go to Edit > Preferences > Privacy & Security > Forms and uncheck the option to save form history.
