    I suggest doing a System Restore to a few days before the problem started happening.

    More info on System Restore here:

      I honestly don't know what might be up with your computer.
      I do have a suggestion though.

      To rule out the act of malware (computer viruses), I strongly suggest you look here:
      http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.html
      If you post the three logs here, one of our Malware Specialists can either rule out the possibility of a virus or help you remove it.


      If you need any help with any of those steps, we will be more than happy to assist you.  ;)

        If you don't want to go through it, I suggest posting a HijackThis log (step 6)
        Relatively simple. Download, install, run, save, post.

          No. It will only gather information about current running processes, startup items, browser toolbars. It's pretty much just a tool for pointing out any mistakes.

          You can get it here:
          http://www.snapfiles.com/get/hijackthis.html

          It has a good description and user reviews if you're interested.

              Did you try another keyboard yet, preferably a PS2 one?
