Could I have a virus?

My computer is acting a bit lately. Especially in forums. When I post a reply to the forums, I am unable to use the apostrophe key and several others. If I try to use it, it activates a different function on my computer. The apostrophe key (') activates the search function within Firefox. If I shut down all windows and reload Firefox, the apostrophe key ' works again for a while.
Not a big problem, but what would be causing this? I'm getting sick of typing in Im instead of I'm or cant for can't. We need an apostrophe emoticon here on this forum. Exclamation

edit: I have run antivirus software already without finding anything. What's the best AV spyware software that you would recommend I run aside from AVG, Spybot and adaware.

That's unlikely to be a virus if that is the only symptom. It's more likely to be a problem with Firefox - perhaps a problem with extensions or a damaged installation. Try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox - if that doesn't work, try creating a new profile.

Thanks Animal! Uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it again and problem solved. I've been using Firefox for a long time now and this is the first time that I've ever had a problem with it. Not sure what happened with it, but glad that it was a simple fix.
