Help.. Possible Virus?

This is getting really weird. Two days ago I couldn't type the "1" key on the top row of my keyboard. Yesterday and earlier today right shift didn't work. Then all of a sudden a minute ago, my co,puter rebooted out of the blue, and now I can't type the "c" key, and the "m" key types a "," instead. Now I can type "1" and right shift. could this be a virus? I'm going to undo something I did, and then install virus scan. BTW, I am copying and pasting c and m.
TIA

Yea, hmm.. well I got rid of this keyboard filter in the registry I had that can change keys around and disable keys (but I had it so it wasn't disabling anything at the moment), but now it works. I don't really know why that was the problem, and maybe it wasn't? Oh well, it's working now. If it happens again I'm gonna get suspicious.

It could be something like this one . It could also be something like a bad keyboard or port.
