English keyboard Shift & 2 is ”
American Keyboard Shift & 2 is @
Swap it over to the correct one.

American Keyboard

You appear to have an american keyboard as your default setup. In the control panel you can view the keyboard config, go here setup the keyboard to work english, then set it as default and remove the american keyboard settings as to stop the language toolbar appearing on the taskbar. That should sort you right out.
