hello.
all of the sudden, my keyboard started acting really weird. when i press shift, it pauses any playing media. the windows button switches song. my ctrl button is now my hibernate button.

i have absolutely no idea what this could be and google wasnt useful.

i tried just re-installing the driver for the keyboard but it did not help.

oh and also, my "eraser key" takes a screenshot every time i erase something.

It sounds like your keyboard has been remapped.

Do a search for "change keyboard functions"

Or take a look at

I don't think it is a virus...sounds more like a malicious vb script

Thank you for your response!

Everything is fine now actually, it just went away by itself.
Computers huh?

I tried cleaning the computer and ran a scan for all sorts of things and now there are no problems at all.
