Hey everybody,
I stumbled upon 4 spywares/viruses yesterday on the laptop and Avira, the anti-virus program, detected them, so I "denied access" for those. It seemed they still ate the way through my laptop.
The problem I'm having now is that my keyboard types random characters. For example, if I press "k", "\svmf" would come out. Ran a few scans, no detections. I gave up and ended up formatting.
Upon initial installation settings of Win7, it asked me to type in a name for my laptop...and there the problem with the keyboard was again!!! (I'm sure I did a clear installation)...
I then formatted it again with the preinstalled VAIO formatter on the preserved partition. And even then, the problem persisted in XP.
I have the same problem with BIOS, F2 and F8. I can't navigate through those options properly because the keyboard doesn't play along. What in the world happened to it?!
Additional info: after the virus infected my laptop, the typing was fine until I accidentally stepped on the plug and it lost power. When I started it up again, I couldn't type in my password properly. Could it be hardware failure? I mean all the keys work just fine, but they just spit out random isht...
In my 23 years I've never seen anything like this!
Please help me...super desperate now...thank you!
