Disabling keyboard '\' key autotype and fixing

Question

I've Dell Latitude D620 laptop, with BackTrack installed. For the fast few days, it's automatically typing the \ automatically without any break. I tried to break it by Ctrl+C. However it pauses for a few seconds and continues in next line.

I can't even login to system because of the issue.

I believe it can't be a malware problem. Any possible solutions?

Answer 1

Nope, it does not look like malware -- it looks more like a broken keyboard. Try to boot the LiveCD and see what happens.
