Heeeelp!

I stayed home today to work from home on my thesis. So far though, I've spent the morning and some of the afternoon installing anti-virus/spyware/adware updates and trying to find the evil that has infected my laptop.

Okay, my laptop computer has something going on such that I can't type in word. I type a meaningful sentence and instead what comes out is "n 8hfg hfhr9876 jdfheo7" etc.

I'm assuming from my tiny computer knowledge that this is some sort of Macrovirus that is affecting word, but I really have no idea.

I've run my virus scanner (Norton antivirus), as well as updated my ad-aware SE, Spyware Blaster and Spybot search programs. Spybot picked up 18 random things and Ad-aware killed some cookies, but my Word program is still stuffed.

Anyone know what else I can do? Is there a particular file in the word program that this "thing" must be inhabiting? Might narrow my search.

Is there a program that searches Word for virus programs? Something like that.

I'm so frustrated, I was really all systems go - gonna get this damn chapter fixed up and ready, and now I can't do anything.

I could move the files I'm working on to this computer, but I'm too afraid I'll just infect it too.

Help! Please!
