AVG obfuscated my keyboard drivers and I don't know what to do
For context:
I’m on Windows 10 and my laptop’s keyboard has been malfunctioning and as a result I’m only using my external keyboard. This malfunction is in no way associated with AVG. The malfunctions I’m experiencing are causing the keyboard to randomly start pressing keys and it’s very annoying. It’s virtually unusable.
Now I’m trying to completely disable my laptop’s malfunctioning keyboard but while only keeping my external keyboard enabled. I am not able to do this and AVG seems to be the reason. It appears as though AVG is interfering with my drivers, making it apparently impossible to disable only my laptop’s keyboard. I tried to follow tutorials on how to do so, and clearly my keyboard associated drivers have been altered by AVG, presumably for protection against key loggers and other malware, but it appears as though this makes it impossible for me to disable my laptop’s keyboard. I don’t remember the exact details, but when attempting to disable my laptop’s keyboard driver, it ended up disabling both my external keyboard and my external keyboard. This shouldn’t happen and I think the culprit is AVG. I’ve since managed to re-enable my keyboards.
My regular driver files are nowhere to be found, at least I couldn’t personally find them. It looks like they are obfuscated by AVG as avgKbd.sys . In my windows Device Manager list, I can see 3 keyboards, all listed as “HID Keyboard Device”. All of their driver directories are the same. I find it difficult to even tell which is which given that they all have the same name. This is also presumably some sort of AVG caused obfuscation.
I’m interested in finding out how I can disable only my laptop’s keyboard (and not my external keyboard) while still keeping AVG, if that’s even possible.
