On my laptop i have once in a while like every once out of 2 weeks or once out of 1 month

i get this thing that takes 50% controll over my mouse and keyboard and it goes to the start window (bottom left corner if u don't kno) and tries to delete everything.

Some people said it was a hacker and some say a virus and little say a trojan or whatever.

I had to reinstall my laptop though because i was messing around with the mouse when the computer was loading and i reinstalled it at this place and they reinstalled it and i didnt have the internet 4 a month and then when i got it a few weeks later i got that thing that tries to delete stuff.

So what is it? how do i stop it?
Well i use Ad-ware personal and i use windows live one care

and they don't work :(
So i'm asking what should i do 2 get rid of it?

and i'm just saying do u think it is a good idea if i delete all my internet downloading because i dont have a lot cause of the reinstalling?
idk
So HELP ME OUT PLEASE!

Ok so you say you had the laptop for a month one time and wasn't connected to the net and it didn't act strange......Using that, I would say your computer is connecting to something while you don't know and is being controlled or connecting to a virus or something

I would personally disconnect from the internet, Load on some major security package - For example Norton Internet security, with a firewall, then reconnect to the net and see if it keeps happening

1) Run the 3 anti spyware programs listed below
A) If you have not already scanned your comp with spybot http://securitynewsfromthenet.blogspot.com/2007/03/spybot-search-and-destroy-spyware-and.html do that now .Update it and then run it so it gets rid of all the spyware and trojans in safe mode .Then use the immunize feature to block bad sites from secretely installing any more trojan downloaders.
B) Run SUPERAntiSpyware Home Edition (free version)

The surest way would be to reformat your hard drive. Have you tried recovery back to a time before these problems started?
