Microsoft wireless key board hacked

Dec 10, 2010 10:01AM PST

I use window XP with SP1,2,and 3.
Since a couple of days the KEY BOARD options window appears now and them, internet windows shut down or new windows are open.
I tried to delete the keyboard program but it is locked, impossible to delete contact the admin is the message ; but I am the admin.
I use Avast anti virus, Trojan remover and Spy bot search and destroy but nothing wrong was detected.
Any advice???

Does a wired keyboard work on the system? Assume you have gone through all the reinstall procedures and of course checked to make sure the batteries are good.

Finally the problem came from the keyboard itself.
It is now in my garbage can. This was the second and last microsoft keyboard I used!!!
