My brothers computer looks like it has a virus. He was downloading some files off a client share program and after he ran one of them he started having problems with his keyboard. Whenever he typed, his letters were just all jargon. he was stupid and kept using his keyboard for almost 2 days and by the time he told me about it his keyboard wouldnt work at all. When i came over and tried booting up windows it froze completely. I was able to boot up on the next try but couldnt get the keyboard going. I tried using my virus boot disks but i cant because of the keyboard. i tried doing everything i know of but no luck. any suggestions?
