How to Remove Keyboard Bug (Viruses)

What is Keyboard Bug?

Keyboard Bug is considered to be a virus, a type of malware that is designed to create havoc in your computer. A Keyboard Bug infection can be as harmless as showing annoying messages on your screen, or as vicious as disabling your computer altogether.

Typically, a virus gains entry on your computer as an isolated piece of executable code or by through bundling / piggybacking with other software programs.

Once a virus such as Keyboard Bug gains entry into your computer, the symptoms of infection can vary depending on the type of virus. Some viruses can keep adding shortcuts of other programs on your desktop, while others can start running unwanted programs, also referred as “PUP” (Potentially Unwanted Programs) to intentionally slow down your computer.

There are also more harmful viruses that present the infamous “blue screen of death”, a critical system error that forces you to keep restarting your computer. Viruses like Keyboard Bug can even delete your important files and folders.
