Hi,
It sounds like you activated FilterKeys. You can uncheck that option at
Control Panel> Accessibility Options> Keyboard> uncheck FilterKeys. If you
click on Settings, you can disable the right Shift shortcut.

Hope this helps,

Well I hate to be the one to tell you this but you may have adware.
Advertising programs you did not want because you hit OK. I would reccommend
downloading Ad-Aware. It is a free program designed to detect AD-Aware and
spyware. Once you download it and install it do a full system scan on your
computer and delete all suspect files. The website to get a free copy is:
