Your mac may be thinking the Control key is pressed.

Did you spill anything on the keyboard? (Be honest with yourself: do  
you eat or drink over it?) Tea, coffee, soda? If so, remove the key's  
cover and spray with Cleaner/Degreaser that you get at a good real  
electronics shop or radio shack.

Also look under the key to see if crumbs are stuck under it. You can  
use a business card, paper, or scotch tape to clean between keys.

If under AppleCare maybe bring it into the store. But if they see a  
spill it may not be covered.
