i think i may have a virus or something, none of the top letters on my keyboard work when pressing the shift key.

i've ran updated versions of, cswshredder, microsoft anti-spyware, microsoft trojan remover tool & spybot. Finally i've ran no-adware which has picked up 51 items only it wants me to pay $37 to remove them.

whan can i download free to clean my computer of this shit?

As said - try another keyboard.

Also try going to START > CONTROL PANEL > KEYBOARD, click on HARDWARE tab, then the PROPERTIES BUTTON and finally the DRIVER tab. Try looking for a better driver using the driver button, or rolling back the driver to a previous one by using the Roll Back Driver button....

Failing all that, go to START > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM > SYSTEM RESTORE and restore the computer to a previous date when you remember the keyboard working fine....

The last option is a tad extreme tho.... I;d just get a new keyboard.....

i'm pretty sure it's a virus type problem as i've had it before and it was.

i'va ran the one above - thanks for posting that - and it found a few dodgey cookies but thats it

whereas no-adware has a whole list of "dangerous" registry keys. most with BearShare as the name? does that mean anything to anyone?

Bearshare is a P2P filesharing programme, like Kazaa and Limewire.....
