i had this problem on my work computer and yea it was a virus. i would sit there and type, stop typing, and it would keep typing jumble by itself. i hit control alt delete and there was some program in the "processes" tab that was in some hacker speak. i forget exactly what it said...something like "haxx0rd" or similar to that.
