Weird prob
ok...so i sit down at my comp for like five mins...then all of a sudden it's
like my comp is possessed. Seriously. the mouse pointer goes all over the place trying to open programs and the start menu opens a couple of times and closes. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Also today when i was on for a couple of mins..the same thing happened but it was showing that it wanted to shut down. the only reason why it didn't was because it had to ask me if i wanted to log off or restart. It's pretty freaky to watch actually...but i would say it can get pretty annoying fast. so what do you say, why does this happen or does my comp need an exorcism? Oh, i do have norton all up to date, and i have a firewall...when i checked it all online it said that my comp was stealth. I ran Spybot - S&D after i checked for updates and nothing turned up. But when i unplugged the comp when it was happening it stopped. It may be a coincidence, but ya never know. Any ideas? TIA |

I would like to add a few more tidbits of info... i am running WinXP and
connected through the internet through a router. I don't know if this helps any, but i thought i would throw it out there.

You are infected with a virus or back door trojan, or you mouse is
defective. What happens with the mouse disconnected? "emtecca" wrote in message ...

Seriously. the mouse pointer goes all over the place trying to open programs and the start menu opens a couple of times and closes. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Virus-like backdoor software, VNC, pcAnywhere, Windows' Desktop. When it happens, unplug your system from the network connection (or USB if that's how you're networked), and CTLALTDEL to bring up Task Manager and see what's running. You might also close all internet-enabled software and run netstat from a command prompt to see what's active, before you unplugged the cable. http://www.micro2000uk.co.uk/techtip...s_netstats.htm |
