Ok, I have narrowed down that the keyboard issue is a bad keyboard. A USB keyboard works fine. I ordered a new one and it shouldn't be too difficult to replace.
But the whole thing with Avast is weird. It had some kind of malicious software that shut down Avast. Even after I ran everything according to this thread and got rid of the crap, Avast would not work. It won't work in safe mode, either. And I can't uninstall it and reinstall it. I'm using AVG now, but I prefer Avast.
BTW, I think the keyboard issue timing was just a coincidence.
