Weird Problem -- Repeating C's and N's

This is a strange problem. Periodically, I get a sequence of
repeating C's and N's (both uppercase and lowercase). When this is
happening, I cannot select any menu item because the string of C's and
N's is controlling the keyboard input.

The only thing that seems to stop it is to either reboot the computer
or to click on the Windows start key and keep pressing the letter S
(between all the C's and N's) until the letter S finally gets
recognized.

I don't have a virus. I don't have any spies. I don't have any
programs that shouldn't be there.

I would think if it were a problem with the keyboard (keys getting
stuck for example) that pressing the letter S would not stop the
problem.

Anybody ever heard of this???

Thanks.

Maybe the problem is your keyboard?
