Hello Jack,
The shortcuts are due to a worm.
Using the same pen on both a mac and on windows is not recommended.
To get rid of the worm, at work, on the very same computer, (because the computer is also infected)
Your flash drive and computer have been infected with a worm.
# Download USB Fix click here
The numbers of analyzed and infected elements are displayed.
# Copy/paste the report here.
