How can I reboot to Mac os from windows without keyboard?

I have my hard drive partitioned into 2 parts for windows and Mac environment.

Windows is my default startup and a virus is messing up my keyboard keys, speakers, ... My mouse is luckily still working properly. What i wanna do is to remove everything in the partition for windows and install windows again. But how?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

If the virus if for Windows, you should be able to press X key when your computer starts. If you installed Boot Camp drivers, open Control Panel > Systen and Security > Boot Camp, select Macintosh HD and restart. Then, boot into OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant and delete Windows partition

Oh, similar strange behaviors are happening in Mac environment too. Speaker turns itself up to highest and continuously making sounds; can't open applications as usual - after I tried opening a document in neo the mouse can only zoom and like the document is blocked for editing though no error messages whatsoever; when I use the mouse to select an action from any drop down menu the control just dances around the items one by one speedily... It is a virus isn't it? What should I do now?
