Strange computer activity? What could this be? Keylogger?

BigBangTheory · Jul 24, 2015

I went to start up my laptop from sleep mode and I pressed the space bar a couple of times to turn it on and while the screen was black/turning on it said "space bar" and then "space bar" in this weird robotic voice. What could this be? A keylogger? it seemed to be speaking what keys I pressed.

Yes I do have Windows 8.1. This was not Cortana's voice even if I had her.

I'm pretty sure it's a setting on your computer for blind people. On Windows 7, I remember I made my computer do that one time.

I think you might be right. My computer sometimes slips off the couch and I grab it and hit some random keys so that definitely could be possible. Kinda reassuring.

Its some voice thing, I forgot whats it called but if you look around you will find out how to turn it off.

No keylogger will make your computer talk lol

Thank you responding. I was hoping to get a reply from someone who knows about keyloggers. My mind is more at ease but I'm still doing a full system scan in safe mode with networking and command prompts turned off with Malware Bytes to be sure.

Look for a voice recorder hidden in your room. If its not there, this is no keylogger. A keylogger would want to be as quiet as possible.

Same happened with me earlier when I was using Windows 8

It must be the Narrator function in Windows 8. Please check this

Well this happened in the living room at my parents house and definitely came from the computer speakers.

Really? If you're telling the truth that's kind of odd.
