Answer 1

you may very well have a virus,but at same time the mouse may be failing.a new one cost $10 run a virus scan in safe mode before buying a new one to be sure. http://www.geeksquad.com/tools/detail.aspx?id=377 this site offers 2 types free scan good luck

Answer 2

I don't think you have a virus or spyware. Try this-Webroot Window Washer comes with a "total system eraser" that will completely erase everything on your hard drive. If you get the free trial, the utility is there. You make the disk, and re-boot your computer with the disk inserted. It will walk you through the steps. It works well, and it's free(even after the trial period for Window Washer). I use this progam over and over. I think your mouse issue is related to a driver. Try updating the driver for your mouse (look in control panel under mouse).

Answer 3

First thing, it may just be that you need a new mouse. If that's not the case, go to the Microsoft website and download Microsoft defender. It's free and works really well.

Answer 4

sounds like a mouse problem. Try using a different mouse. Good luck

Answer 5

The problem could be your mouse. If you unplug your mouse - does your pointer quit moving? The other problem might be the mouse interface (which would be hardware problem)

Answer 6

How do you know its a virus???

How do you know its not your hardware???
