    Keyboard virus is actually a nasty program that would interfere with the keyboard inputs. It won't make any different (I suppose) if keyboard is changed.

    The virus is in the keyboard buffer , so changing keyboard dont help.

    I checked my system with my Anti virus but no luck.

    I tried the system Restore option, that too didnt work.

    This is a wierd problem , which i faced earlier the solution for the first attack was to uninstall windows and reinstall.

    PS. Am at office 😀

    don't install Avira
    its good but not good enough
    install the 2009 version of Norton, that's the best currently
    and best part new version doesn't slow down PC 😀

    just download the trial version, and you will get all the features activated. 😀

    I just keep installing trial again after 15 days, I guess I'll continue this until I start earning to buy me a license ^_^

    Usually, if one uses Avira, another software is needed for malware and spyware. Sometimes it takes a combination of different specialist software to be effective. I prefer this approach rather than a unified sofware suite 😉

    ES, try using EasyCleaner to remove invalid registry entries and try reinstalling anti virus again.
