Start-up and random rapid-clicking / "enter" key auto-pressing
I'm not ruling out the cause of this issue being malware of some sort, however, I have already tried those programs which are accessible to me with the aim of resolving this issue -- Avast! Free Antivirus, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (Premium), and Dr.Web CureIt!, including free Anti-rootkit programs by BitDefender, Kaspersky, Avast!, and Malwarebytes' itself -- only Malwarebytes', Avast!, and Dr.Web CureIt! seem to detect something on the computer, most of which are false positives, while others trivial (removed), yet did not seem to fix the issue.
This only started off with a rapid-clicking after every startup of the computer which can be fixed by simply pressing the "F5" key which refreshes the page. Only to randomly return again. I know it rapidly clicks when I hover over the cursor to the start menu and it suddenly close-opens the menu too fast enough for a man to click on it.
Eventually this has gotten worst by also affecting the "Enter" key which auto-presses itself by a lot sometimes whenever I am typing including now. If I am on a Word program, it auto-clicks the "Enter" key to a point that multiple lines are skipped until I refreshed the page by clicking on the "F5" key.
Moreover, I know either or both of the problems occur when the start menu suddenly pops up without me even clicking on it. The most annoying part of this problem is when it rapidly clicks on a certain program and causes it to run multiple instances of the same program, literally.
If this is not software-related, I am assuming this is to be a hardware problem of some kind but do not necessarily know what is it specifically.
Anyone got any ideas on this problem, especially on its fix?
Making a full reformat of the computer is my final resort if only it can't be fixed any other way.
