@top10ufo:
I don't mean to demean your knowledge in any way shape or form - If I did, I apologize.
This is just not good advice, simply saying:
When you posted that, I kinda figured you were just here to spam your site. Maybe I was a bit harsh and, again, I apologize.
-- BTW, I like your website. Stuff like that interests me.
Still, I am going to stick by everything I said in this thread as being accurate.
As necrolin has noted, post#1 tends to lead away from a malware issue. The logs support that. Not sure why the OP is uninstalling AVG or running Combofix again.
All told, I think we made a pretty good mess of this thread....
Cheers

So have you tried another keyboard as suggested by PP?

Definitely try a different keyboard.
-- Also, what happens when you press Ctrl + N?

Hi all and thanks for the info. I never mentioned that this pc is a laptop - how can i change the keyboard - sorry again but i am not really well up on this end of it all? Can I just go in to properties somewhere and disconect it?
With regard to the ctrl + n, nothing happens, but none of my shortcuts are working e.g. ctrl a to select all nor ctrl alt delete.
Again, I don't know if this is from all the fiddeling people have done or not. Just for good measure though i reformatted again the other day. Same thing (getting anything up to 150 pages at a time. I have downloaded Firefox and the same thing happens with that. But the real beauty I think is when I go into Windows Explorer - it can do the same thing, trying to display the webpage in WE. Brilliant isn't it? Totally unusable at this stage !
Can you do a walk through the keyboard thing for me. Appreciate all your help and assitance, K

If you are keen to try it yourself, there are tons of tutorials on the web. For instance:

Best luck to you!
Sorry I could not be more help.

Ah that's no problem, i understand, though I think I'll just right it off at this stage. Its been to three repair shops at this stage so to be honest - I don't hold much faith with them now. But thanks for all the information.

This would indicate to me that we are on the right track with our diagnosis.
So - Must indeed be a hardware issue.
Happy to try to help, but I am not comfortable doing that as there are a lot of ways to damage your machine. I would recommend a repair shop as the safest and most effective way to solve the problem.

You could try the hardware Forum here at Daniweb:

A lot of smart people - they might have some better ideas than what I can come up with.
Be sure to tell them that we ruled out malware.
