I’ve been fighting some malware on my computer for the past couple of months and have a lot of anti-virus software installed (eset, 360 total security, malwarebytes hmpalert3).

At one point I did a factory reset of my laptop, put all of my essential data on a pendrive and scanned it thoroughly with 2 separate anti-virus programs, thought it’s solve the problem. :^(

A couple of days ago one of the programs detected a game (genshin impact, downloaded from the og site) as a trojan, so I uninstalled it and deleted all possibly related files.

Since then whenever I try to type something in google chrome, which I use as my primary browser, a bunch of gibberish comes out. The keyboard works just fine anywhere else, for example, same sentence typed in a text document and in chrome:

1.blah blah I’m so tired of fighting this stupid problem

2.p[]\ asdf Ghj kl ;'`zx cv bnm,./12 3456 7890-= qwertyu

I noticed that it doesn’t repeat the same keys with “blah blah”, so could it be a problem with keyboard encryption from anti malware software?

PLEASE AND THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP 🙏
