I had a bizzare incident where my cursor intelligently moved on it's own. It wasn't a glitch on my laptop touchpad (no mouse was hooked up), because it moved down to the task bar, right-clicked Wordpad and selected Close, then moved up to the save dialouge box and selected "No." Someone or something was controling it. The firewall was on, and Remote Assistance was turned off. I had no virus or spyware come up when I did a search afterwards. I was, however, on a wireless connection on an unsecure network (but I was at my house and no other wireless networks are near), and filesharing was turned on so that I could send files to another computer my house. I was composing lyrics for a song about being watched when this occured, and the only program I had open was Wordpad. The activity would start when I tried to continue typing, as if reacting to me. The activity stopped once I turn off my wireless network card. Please help my find a natural explanation for why this would happen!!
