Can anyone help me about this strange problem?

Hi there!
Welcome to Club Vaio.

Is your 'e' key partially depressed at all? Have you had any spillages on the keyboard?

Hi, unfortunately it looks not so simple.
It happens randomly (yesterday, for example, after 20 days it was ok)
and doesn't look like a virus.

Yeah I haven't heard of a virus that causes something like this.
You can always scan for malware etc though.

If that particular key is not damaged / looks odd etc then I suspect a keyboard fault.
How old is your PC?

Can only be about 4 or 5 months old so i would suggest getting sony to have a look at it and making the most of the warrenty whilst you still have it!

Thanks guys, bye

Give it a long spray of compressed air keeping the can around 10cm away.
