Q: When I add data to a webscreen, my mac often clears out the screen requiring me to re-add. Is this a symptom of a virus or keylogger?

When I'm inputting data on a webscreen, the screen often flashes blank and then re-appears without the data...so that I re-add the data. Is this a symptom of a keylogger? If so, how do I detect and delete it? thanks.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2010), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
