Pressing Left ctrl button redirects to home page

I have this problem on Windows 7, not using any other OS as yet on my computer.

Whenever I press left ctrl, any tab redirects to the home page of the browser (in firefox and opera). If I press left ctrl while all browsers are closed then my default browser (firefox) opens automatically and redirects to the home page.

The same does not happen to right ctrl or any other button.

Any idea what may be wrong?

Hmmm... That is unlikely. I'll try installing ubuntu and check.
Yeah thats best idea. If the problem is not in Ubuntu then Windows have some problem. Most probably its windows problem. I mean in windows OS and the problem won't be there in Ubuntu.
