My keyboard is acting really weird today. For instance, when I press the CTRL key the page loads to Yahoo.com (which is my homepage) and when I hit p button, the computer goes to sleep. Some of the letters don't even work right. I might press l and it comes up as kehjls or some random letter combo. There is a really weird username on my computer file owner list (right click properties/security) and I don't remember it being there before. I don't know what to do. Pretty scared I got hacked :/
 
It sounds like you got a virus of some sort. You can try doing a system restore to a time when your computer was working fine. You can learn how to do a system restore to an earlier time at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/wind ... em-Restore and http://www.wintuts.com/System-Restore

AVG has a Rescue CD which maybe able to remove the virus by starting your PC from a CD, or DVD which you need to burn.
