Hi all.
Right to begin with here is some info:
1:WIN XP SP2 Version 2002.
24 (HT) 3ghz, 1gig RAM... anything else important?
3:Nothing led to this problem. Seemed fine for a long time, then suddenly...
4:I have no error msgs or hardware conflicts.
5:I have Norton AV (trial) and MS anti-spyware installed.
So... my mouse seems to have a life of its own! I know that the most common reason for this is a trojan or a joke program controling the mouse movements.
My system is clean according to both AV and MS anti-spyware. Even when i unplug the 'net cable, the mouse continues to refuse to let me click on what i want and it also randomly clicks both right and left buttons.
I have eventually formated the harddrive and re-installed xp. Problem still pesists. My thoughts are, a normal program such as Skype or Winamp etc has a trojan/joke program built in, but this seems unrealistic as all programs (not alot after re-install) have been downloaded from program-source/owner websites.
I really would appreciate some advice/help as this problem is causing the PC to be virtually unusable. Any more info that you guys require, i will be happy to provide it.
Thanks
Chris
