Hi Guys:
My cursor has suddenly started to act erratically. I noticed the problem 2 days ago. It is an intermittent problem, lasting several seconds then pauses for several seconds or hours. The cursor moves rapidly from side to side, slowly moving to the left of the monitor.
I have an older cordless optical mouse so my first thought was a bad mouse but the new corded mouse exhibits the same issue. I have tried different mice, different ports, replacing batteries, updating drivers, etc, etc.
I then noticed the cursor continues to move even when no mouse is connected to the PC. This made me suspect perhaps some kind of malicious software. I ran my anti-virus, spyware and rootkit software and detected nothing.
My last hope is the HJT log. I am hoping you might see something lurking about in the bowels of the machine.
Thanks in advance and have a great day!
