Mouse Stopped Functioning

What's going on?!

Okay the other day I was using the mouse in which case it was fine. I used it again and it didn't work. I figured I had a virus or something like that, too many processes going or something. I googled it and came across a few things which I tried to no success. I turned my PC on again and it worked once. Every other time that I've tried to get the mouse to work it hasn't.

It's a ps/2 mouse on an advent 3511 2.80ghz.
intel pentium 4 processor
512mb ddr
120gb
geforce 4 mx440 128mb ddr/tv-out

I can do a HJT log and scan but can someone reassure me that they'll help me first?

Plus what else could it be?

I phoned the pcservicecall phone number and some dude said it sounds to him that the mouse was 'on its way' out but I'm puzzled. What if I buy a brand new mouse and find that it doesn't work?

Oh dear, I'm worried someone help please.

PS. I keep going to move it instinctively lol.

Its highly unlikely to be viral, most probably hardware.

Choices would include trying it on another PC, or buying another PC and keeping the mouse (if you really don't want to buy another mouse to prove it)

But if it were me, another mouse would be the cheapest way of fault finding (I go through about 1 mouse per year here on average)
