Problem with Advent 9117 laptop

mikencube · 08-25-2009, 08:10 PM

Just need some help with my advent 9117 laptop.

It has been running fine for the last 4 months but suddenly the keys on my keyboard have changed.For example if i type T,it comes up with the letter Z.

Most of the keys have changed.

Anyone know what could be causing this?Is it a driver problem or something else?

I am thinking of sending it to the TechGuys but will try and get advice here first.

Please let me know.

Its most likely a virus/trojan that is causing that.
Scan your computer with Malwarebytes (it's free):

Get back to us on that before sending it to techguys. They'll over charge you for something that you can probably fix yourself.

I ran AVG antivirus and it seems to be all fine but the problem still persists.

Are you able to fix it?
