I first notice the mouse problem while playing games in Club Pogo, such as in Bingo, I would click on a number but the mouse wouldnt mark the number or in bowling, the ball goes totally the opposite of where Im aiming it, or even just clicking on the address bar the down arrow only shows for a sec not even time for me to click on a previously opened page. I have slowed down my rate of the mouse, I have run virus checker, updated my mouse driver, I have ran adware, I have done system restore, but to no avail. This is very frustrating especially when you are playing a timed game or trying to get something done in a hurry. Would appreciate any help I can get.

Two suggestions:
First, try a second mouse. They are cheap enough.
Second, If that does not solve the problem, check to make sure you don't have it set up as a left hand mouse accidently. That reverses how everything works.
Hmmm... Just thought of a third thing. You aren't using a laptop with a touchpad are you? Those things get in the way of the mouse since both are active at the same time.

It sounds like you have a standard mouse (with a little ball on the bottom) there should be a ring which you can remove by twisting it with your thumbs. Then turn it over and the ring and ball will fall out, look at tge wheels and axles inside, they are probably plugged up with lint. Use tweezers to pull everything out then blow to clean up the last bit. Put the ball and ring back on, see if this has fixed it.

start simple, borrow another mouse from a friend or work and try that. it could be your existing mouse has kicked up its legs and had a fit. once you have eliminated that you can start worrying about viruses etc ;)
