greedo Ghost Typing on my computer

I think there is a ghost typing on my computer. Really I have a Windows XP machine. Recently when I am in Outlook,Word or any program ghost typing will start. I can be typing an email and all of a sudden it's like someone else is typing and I can't stop it. I wait for it to stop after awhile, but it comes back again. I have a virus scanner that is up to date and it does not detect a virus. Has anyone heard of this? Thanks in advance!

Go to www.moosoft.com and download The Cleaner and run it - you probably have a Trojan.

Once you are cleaned up, activate the built-in XP firewall or get Zone Alarm.
