Ok i have this problem and i cant solve it myself so i hope someone or some people here can ?????

Two weeks ago on thursday i had strange activity whilst playing warcraft eg. character doing weird things like running backwards etc so when i eventually crashed to desktop (it wouldnt let me escape etc) i found keys on the keyboard had been remapped like the side button on the mouse was now opening webpages instead of being a forward button.

Also i noticed the sound had been muted ??? Remember this as it appears later then i crashed the automatic updates then stopped me accessing the internet.

So i was running AVG Pro with Nvidia Firewall and Nforce manager from my fatality motherboard so ran a scan with AVG and it came up clean yet i knew there was something there.

So i formatted C: and reinstalled but this time i switched to nortons 360 v2.0.

Come 8pm last night (thursday) the same stuff started to happen when i went to play warcraft i noticed 8 search windows open for windows explorer so i shut them all down and went and did something else and came back an hour later and the same thing had happened i also noticed thatthe sound had been muted as well ????

Same symptoms as before happening at exactly the same time of day 2 weeks apart ????

So i ran a nortons virus scan and nothing, ran spybot nothing, ran lavasoft nothing, ran fprot rootkit detector nothing, ran sophos rootkit detector nothing

So i dont know what is up with my system for the past 2 weeks but this is pulling my hair out

So if anyone out there can help me i would be grateful
