It looks like a problem with your keyboard even none of the keys appear to be stuck..
Answer #4
Plug an external keyboard into it and see if it works with that one.
If so the problem is with the internal one and is indeed probably a stuck / shorted key. Many of those use film type keyboards and the film itself is stuck together from (usually) a liquid got introduced.

Indeed. I’ve had this. Uh, sick, tea… bam. Anyways, I used a key re-locater to temporarily disable the key (in this case, for you it would be relocating the ‘;’ key. I recommend assigning it to a key that you rarely ever use like one of the CTRL keys). But you really should purchase a new keyboard, they’re easy to install and they’re not that expensive anymore nowadays.

You cannot install antivirus or any .exe file ? You suspect that your antivirus is infected ?
