Hey guys thanks for helping.

I have a problem with my keyboard on my laptop. Its normail though.

When I type, some keys.. not one in particular will continue to type dispite me only pressing once. It seems as if the keys are sticking but they feel extremly smooth and nothing feels if its sticking. Its ecspecially bad on the backspace key, as Ill hit it once and it will erase 4-6 characters. Quite annoying as I have to retype things 5-6 times.

Is this software related?? Could if be a program in the background (virus/spyware) conflicting and causing a problem? Or could it actually be a physical thin where they are internally sticking where I cant "see" or "feel" them stick.

Please help if you can

Thanks
