Computer typing and acting on its own.

I have been puzzled on this one, my computer for the past few months
has had a mind of it's own. It first started typing full and half
sentences about two months ago, at first I thought it was a virus and
took the easy way out and reformatted. I have two hard drives in this
machine and I have formatted them both twice at least, loaded both xp
home and ubuntu on them and still seem to get the mystery typing. I
have even taken memory out , switched the order and changed out my g15
for a normal keyboard. I have yet to find a solution, somehow it
keeps typing on its own, deleting characters , using the arrow keys to
go back and forward on websites and pressing enter on it's own. I
have used spybot, windows defender, and adware tagged up with norton
10.2 corporate edition. I have used two different online scanners and
still no luck, does anyone know what else it could be? I don't have
office or voice recognition nor do i have a microphone plugged in so
we can safely rule that out.

These "semntences" - are you exaggerating or are these actual sentences?

I would suspect a practical joke followed by my next suspicion of defective
hardware.

To quote one, one of them said like "Kay Jewler,Tiffanys necklace is
at the store." The sentence makes no sense to me, but its not just
like its a jkjlkjlkjl type pattern, their actual words. As for a
joke, who would be pulling it? No virus scanner can pick anything up,
2 formats, 2 different operating systems, where else could a virus
hide?

Are you on a wireless system ?
 
Your best protection from another virus infection is to download your BIOS
install or upgrade. Starting with a fresh install of the BIOS, then a fresh
install of Windows, including turning on the firewall before going online,
should get you going without this backdoor connection.

Here's a thought: Turn off the Voice Recognition software.

I quote ' I don'tThis computer doesn't use voice recognition, doesn't have a mic
plugged in, and doesn't have office installed, so that option isn't
even an option. I've heard someone suggest flashing the bios before,
I might have to try that. This computer is direct connected to the
wireless router so I don't think that is the issue either.

Sorry I missed that. Actually I saw that, mulled it over, then
responded the next day after skimming over your post, forgetting you'd
mentioned V.R..

Is it a laptop? There have been weird occurrences with the touchpad
sensitivity, but I can't see how that would cause letters to be typed..
A Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth connection might somehow allow VPN or Messenger
service. This too doesn't make sense since "someone" apparently is able
to operate your machine while you're accessing it. A Blue Tooth signal
from a neighbor might explain the weird happenings.. purely speculation
on my part; I've never even dealt with Blue Tooth devices.
