Mouse Gone Nuts!

Even when disconnected to the internet, my mouse's pointer will move and
click on items. Any ideas what is going on?

You haven't provided enough information for anyone to help you. See this
link for the details you need to include in your next post:

http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm

Some examples of what we need to know:

1. Are you in a network? If yes, peer-to-peer or domain?
2. Do you use a wireless keyboard/mouse? If yes, are there other
computers in the room that have wireless keyboards/mice also?
3. What antivirus do you use?
4. What changed between the time things worked and the time they didn't?

Re: Mouse Gone Nuts!

Try a new mouse, or if this is a cordless/wireless mouse try new batteries.

Re: Mouse Gone Nuts!

The mouse pointer moves on the screen and even clicks on icons and the click
opens the program associated with the icon. All of this continues when the
PC is:

1. Not connected to the internet.

2. Not connected to a network.

3. Mouse unpluged from the PC.

It was cured when I ran various anti-spyware programs but came back after my
family used the PC for the day while connected to the internet. I got rid of
this bad behavior a second time by running Vista's system restore utility to
an earlier system time status.

Since it came back I assume this is a virus or worm or some other software
issue.
