Virus? Easter Egg? Break in? Keylogger? What is this? 1

Someone in our company was working in an Excel spreadsheet when all of a sudden the computer started typing by itself. It was doing it for about 10 minutes. Full words, nonsense sentenses like '...the red embassy had dog bite child over the river of the ...' (Not from the typed text.)
Whenever another cell was clicked, it would start typing there. It stopped after about 10 minutes by itself.
Did the MS AntiSpyware, Norton AV scans - nothing found.

Any ideas?

If the computer has a mic, make sure the voice recognition is not turned on (language bar) and picking up random noises in the room. I have seen this on laptops with built in mics.

It doesn't sound like a virus to me, but just so you know: If you suspect a virus, check out the Virus/Spyware discussion Forum
