a laptop? which model?
scan system for viruses, sounds like you have one.  If desktop, and no viruses, use another keyboard.

sheharyaarSaahil,

This is a laptop inspiron 1150 .

scratchcyboy,
this is not a virus!!! what are you taking about?  can't you see on the keystrokes U J I O K L? there are also numbers, that's something I just triggered accidentally and I can't remember, it is just like when you  do the Caps Lock, it gives you Capital letters ,right! Well! it's the same thing for this, but I can't recall what I did...
You didn't say so, but I suspect this is a laptop.   Some laptops have a key that sets a "numeric keypad" mode using the keys J K L (for 1 2 3), U I O (for 4 5 6) and 7 8 9 (obviously for 7 8 9).   I suspect you've simply pressed whatever key sets this mode.

Is this in fact a laptop?   ... what make/model??

Disable the numeric keypad— Press the <Num Lk> key to disable the numeric keypad. Verify that the numbers lock light is not lit
... I presume that was clear ==> but just in case, you hold the Fn button while pressing F11
