My computer is spazzing out. Its clicking on anything and everything launching a bunch of applications and typing random letters in any search it sees. I ran a complete virus scan using avast free. No virus came up but this feel like a virus. How do I get rid of it and have my computer working normal again?

I'm thinking that it may be worth downloading Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware or Hitman Pro and running a scan. These are very effective tools and easily detect hidden rootkits or malware. You might also want to try using ESET online scan, that is also very useful. Are you seeing any other suspicious things, and has avast recently found any infections that could lead to this issue?

I know it's a long shot, but do you use a wireless mouse/keyboard? If so you could try replacing the batteries or swapping them with wired versions to see if it anything changes.
