    But it could still very well be your keys. My laptop actually has a similar problem, where the 2 on the number pad presses down with certain buttons (usually my num lock is off though, so it presses the down arrow), and all my buttons are 'perky' as well. If you have access to any portable keyboards, try hooking one up and see if the problem persists. In the meantime, run a virus scan.

    Also stop looking at so much porn :cool:
     
  3. Ok, download malware bytes. Then install it... Then, restart your computer, and from the get go, start tapping the f8 key, and dont stop until an odd seeming menu comes up with options to "boot normally, boot to safe mode, boot to safe mode with networking" appears. Boot to safe mode with networking. Run Malwarebytes, check for updates.... then, run a full scan.... it SHOULD get any virus you have haha
     
  4. ^ that sounds good, I will do that.
     
  5. Download hijackthis from trend micro and create a log file. Open the log file with notepad and paste the results here.
     
  6. Yes, good idea indeed
     
  7. Sounds like the keyboard to me.

    Forget about the keys and how they feel, just try a different keyboard.

    Bet it fixes it.

    If there is a virus that allows them to send keystrokes like that, they OWN your computer right now and I bet you would have noticed other symptoms.
