Happens in all programs that use text editors.
I use Panda anti-virus. Run virus checks.
 
What other editors are on this system?

You always get the same replacement ? with the "Bill.o" closing ?

Is it possible someone made a malicious replacement in your dictionary? or auto-correct feature?

The following may (or may not) vary depending on your version of Word. I suggest you check your Auto Correct list.

See if www.stanford.edu/group/efmh exists in the AutoCorrect list:
1.. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options.
2.. In the list under the Replace box, click the entry you want to remove. (First, scroll down the whole list).
3.. Click Delete.
 
When I type www.stanford.edu/groups, something takes control of my keys. This happens in any editor.
I am a Delphi programmer, and I added code to capture the keys during keypress. Here are the results.
Each line tells what happened during a keypress. It first gives the date and time. Then the key, followed by the keycode. As soon as
I type the "r" of "groups", something takes control of the keys.
