My speech recognition program types for me, but I've never known my

How do you know there is no virus or malware?

I would suspect foul play.

Please provide some detail, I'm genuinely curious to know what you
are talking about. Can you post a screenshot somewhere and provide a
link here?

And then you see menu options spelled backwards?

Maybe that's when the reversal happens for that particular menu drop

of Ad-Aware?

When troubleshooting, you go with the best lead that you have. Do
you have a better lead?
