jolly3153, SWAG, may not be it at all, worth a try. Suspect you may have a Trojan. There's one around aimed at the mouse that does all sorts of things to it. Be aware that a virus and a Trojan are similar, but not the same. Many times, an AV detects one it can't clean , other times, it gets missed entirely. If you need to clean one, A² can do the job and you can get it free @: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4... among other places. If it turns out that you need to use it, be sure to update prior to running. They just released a new update recently and it changes all the time. Things are in a constant state of flux. HTH.
