Text becomes crazy - gobbledegook pc

[rockart]

Probably the weirdest query I have ever had.
After using a program for a while my text becomes crazy. It is as if i have a new keyboard with all the characters in a different place. The only way to reclaim my keyboard is to close and restart the program. It can be any program, Firefox, word, Outlook Express, anything. Can't tell whether it is after a certain amount of time or number of keystrokes... no idea.
VIRUS
If it is a virus I scan the whole computer every 3 days with AFG free.
SPYWARE/MALWARE
I run Spybot regularly.

System is XP Pro
Can anyone help
Is there some way the PC can be virus checked as a one off by something really powerful.
Any help with this problem will be very appreciated
