text: have i got a virus? 3 days ago i accidentally spilt some coffee on my laptop keyboard. chaos since then. login windows, password windows automatically fill with rows of 9s, (999999999999999999999), when cursor touches them. when i open saved word documents rows of 9s appear at the beginning of the document and cover the page. so, could this be a short circuit from the coffee, which must have dried out by now, or does this sound like a virus? anyone experienced anything similar? considering all of this happened after you spilled coffee on your keyboard -- i think it's a fair assumption that the coffee spill has more than likely ruined your computer.  you can take it to a computer place to have them look at it, but i know it's hard to salvage anything from water/coffee spills on laptop.
