I had a problem where suddenly, when I pressed various keys they accessed strange functions. For example, when I pressed F, a find folder popped up. When I pressed L, I logged out and went to the users screen(Windows XP). When I pressed R, a run occured. However, later on, when I restarted my comp, this problem is gone. However, I think this may be a keylogger and am activitating antivirus(I scan/update every week).

What do you guys think?

Could have been a stuck key.

Check all your startups with Autoruns. Use the menu at the top to remove all Microsoft entries so the list will be smaller.

Most anti-malware scanners are pretty good at picking up keyloggers.

Your Windows key is stuck. Windows+F brings up Find, Windows+L logs you off.

I think maybe the window shortcut key is the trouble also so check out both windows keys.
