I use this little attachment set to clean my keyboard. I bought it for my sewing machines and found it works great on other'tiny' spaces. I bought mine at a sewing and quilt expo but you may find at places other than Amazon. Do a search for mini vacuum attachment. It works great, attaches easily to a round hose of a regular vacuum, and has a suction adjustable feature.

Malwarebytes finished scanning and there were no infected files found. Not sure there's much point in posting it here, but I'll post it just in case: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.36 Database version: 2079 Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 5/5/2009 6:53:44 PM mbam-log-2009-05-05 (18-53-44).txt Scan type: Full Scan (C:\:) Objects scanned: 162741 Time elapsed: 26 minute(s), 40 second(s) Memory Processes Infected: 0 Memory Modules Infected: 0 Registry Keys Infected: 0 Registry Values Infected: 0 Registry Data Items Infected: 0 Folders Infected: 0 Files Infected: 0 Memory Processes Infected: (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Values Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Data Items Infected: (No malicious items detected) Folders Infected: (No malicious items detected) Files Infected: (No malicious items detected) ----------------------------- I guess the Avast boot time scan fixed the problem. Or it was some kind of weird glitch that automatically resolved itself by restarting the computer. Everything appears to be working well now. Thanks for all the help. Lynn.

you can buy clear plastic keyboard covers that fit right over the keys and you can still type fine, sounds like that is what you need. there are some blogs and articles about dishwashing keyboards, not sure I would try it on an expensive one but a cheap one I may. what I have read says to put only on top rack keys down with nothing else in dishwasher do not use soap and use only cold or lightly warm water not hot and no heat dry just air dry, to let it sit out on towels keys down for at least a week to dry before trying it to see if it works. The dishwasher vs. your dirty computer keyboard try a google search for clear plastic keyboard covers

I spent yesterday afternoon at the Apple Store, sitting at the table for people with no appointments and interviewed them while I waited for my turn, this after spending five hours off and on Sunday talking to Apple Alleged Support Guy on phone, after IOS 8.0 crashed my iPad2 , rendering it a new form of frisbee. Upshot--my iPad is fine, problem is with my WiFi. Nevermind that my computer (not 8), DH's PC computers, and our iPhones (not updated) are working fine with WiFi. I noticed that everyone there with iPhones said Apple Tech on phone had been useless and their phones had turned into expensive bricks, and we were all treated like our problems were unique and fascinating. Galling. Apple has blown it.
