keyboard issue or virus?

Hi,
My laptop key board behaves very imappropriately. It shows up different character when I am typing. For example it shows numbers instead of character I type. I have not installed any font software at all. I do not know if my keyboard files corrupted or I got virus? My laptop use Windows XP sp2 and I check the device manager that no thing seems wrong with keyboard. Thanks

Find out how to turn OFF Numlock on the laptop.

Usually you press the blue Fn button and Numlock to turn this off.. it's
a toggle. There should be an LED that lets you know when you're in that
mode.
