Lenovo Keyboard Inputing Numbers Instead Of Letters - Not Num Lock

Hi, I have a Lenovo Ideapad Y550P. In some applications, games namely, whenever I type a letter, a number appears. When I type another letter, any letter, the next number is inputed. e.g. when I type something like: qweasdzczlu, it is inputed as 12345678901. Num lock is not on, so it cannot be the problem. Oddly enough, I can type normally in chat boxes, it's just the hotkeys or keyboard controls (e.g. "w" to move forward) that don't work. But when I hold the "Alt" or "Ctrl" key it returns to normal. Any help is appreciated, thank you very much.

Uninstall GuardID and IDVault.  That will solve the problem.  At least, it did on my Lenovo S10-2.
