I have intermittant incorrect keys showing up after I start editing or writing in Word. I reboot and all is well for a while then it starts again. It is happening on my wifes desktop also. Any suggestions? TIA srloren

Can you give us an example? What shows up when you press what?

Thanks for the reply...my son is sleeping now, I apologize for this but I will find out and post tomorrow. Again I apologize for not having the exact info on hand. srloren

There is no such thing as a keyboard virus as such but there may be one that could do what you see. Can I assume that there nothing in common between the systems? You are not using the same keyboard are you? I can't imagine any defect that would cause both systems to fail this way. See online antivirus sweeps such as symantec and others. Not all A/V software can detect every issue. Might have to reload from OEM disks or partitions. Be very careful with usb and other removable media. Playing to the angels Les Paul (1915-2009)

My son iformed me that this happens in email programs and word programs...he is using Microsoft Office (Outlook 2007) it types random numbers or letters and happends at least twice a day. One of the keyboards is wired to the computer, the other is a wireless keyboard. I believe you are on the right track about not being a keyboard virus...but as you suggest it could be another virus that has infected his network. He is running ZoneAlarm Anti Virus and a stand alone program that he purchased with ZA that checks the registry. Any other thoughts? Thanks for your help.....it is much appreciated. srloren

Anyone else have any suggestions? TIA srloren
