Yes, I also cannot use Starcraft II or this program called Web assign. I have found that if you hold control while typing it works. I have tried rebooting my computer. Reinstalling my keyboard drivers. This is definitely a problem with only Lenovo's. It must not be a virus. I would think it has to be hardware, but this should be a free fix w/o warranty because we all have the same problem.
DELETE GUARDEDID. It a preinstalled program. It works for me. I am sooo happy. =) I hope you guys see this!
All of you with problems.
If you're problem still exists, even after performing the suggested delete,
then IF YOU ARE NOT THE THREAD STARTER: PLEASE START YOU OWN THREAD.
Thanks!

I noted this problem didn't exist if I started my computer in safe mode. Both Internet Explorer and Firefox URL address fields worked fine. But if I started my computer in normal mode, typing letters in the URL field for either browser would result in a counting sequence of numeric digits. So, I began removing startup programs one by one (by unchecking via Control Panel/System and Security/Administrative Tools/System Configuration Startup tab). When I unchecked the following (and rebooted), the problem went away:
Startup Item: GID Desktop Application
Manufacturer: StrikeForce Technologies Inc.
Command:C:\Program Files\SFT\GuardedID\gidd.exe /s
