What anti-spyware are you using and when was the last time you ran a scan?

I have spybot and ad-aware 6 pro.

I replugged the stuff. still does it and its does it when i type too.

I think this was after the windows update under SP1

adaware 6 is old...

when it freezes when u type, does it, after unfreezing, quickly enter what u had typed during the freeze?

That's why I recommended AdAware SE. Seems to do a much better job than 6.0 does.
