I’ve got the strangest problem with the keyboard on my PC that just cropped up since yesterday.  I’m on a Dell running Vista.  The keyboard is wired, not wireless.  When I type in an email, Word, or text editor, I have no problems.  But when I type in a web based application like WordPress (like I’m doing now writing this post), or filling in online fields like a form or a search box, or leaving a comment on someone’s blog, my keyboard, including the spacebar, skips.  So I end up with sporadic missing letters and spaces.  It’s like it’s stuttering.

I have scanned my computer to death with McAfee and Spybot Search & Destroy.  This computer is clean as a whistle.  McAfee and Windows are all up to date.

Has anyone experienced this problem and were you able to figure out what was causing it?

UPDATE:  I found the problem.  I was infected, infected, infected to the max with Trojans.  I also started having problems with redirects on Google when I clicked on a listing.  Turns out I had a Google redirect virus.  I ran MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware and now both problems are solved.

I’m waiting to enroll in gHealth – Google Health Insurance.  In the meantime, let’s see what else the big G is up to.
