I've got an issue at work work where when I'm trying to type in an email address instead of using SHIFT + 2 to make the @ symbol...I have to use SHIFT + ' key instead and vice versa...I think there might be other issues. I've already tried a different keyboard. I've scanned for malware with malware bytes and did get rid of just 4 infections. What else can I do to fix this?

You probably have the wrong keyboard layout
From the tag it looks like you are referring to Windows XP, English I assume.
Try this http://www.conversat...rd-language.php (just the first Google result I found for changing the Keyboard layout on XP - I'm not sure how accurate this is as I'm not using XP anymore)

Your machine thinks your keyboard layout is "English, UK", change it.

You're using a US (or international) keyboard, but your keyboard is set to UK. Go to Control Panel > Regional/language settings > Keyboard, and change it to US

Edit: Damn, ninja'd!

SHIFT + 2 is the US Keyboard Layout, and SHIFT + ' is the UK layout.
Sounds like someone changed the layout (it's machine specific, not user specific so if an Administrator changes the layout it affects anyone logging on).

You need to upgrade your flux capacitor.

No, like everyone else has said, you've just got your keyboard layout setup wrong.

Your flange spiggot is mounted at an angle, fix it with a flange spiggot adjustor. Your IT department will have one, call them!
