It could be your mouse, it has happened on my old computer a few times. Try a different mouse, if that dosent work then its software based and could be a virus

I’ve seen this happen on laptops where the mouse button on the keyboard between the “G” and “H” key malfunctions. Every time you type on the keyboard the mouse starts moving and doesn’t stop until the some time later.

So, if you disable this mouse button it may fix the problem. You most likely will have to install the input device drivers by using the cd’s that came with your computer, or by going out to the manufacturer’s website and downloading the associated touch pad drivers (ie. support.dell.com).

Look for an option to “Diable Pointing Stick”, or something similar. Best of luck…

Run a scan. Norton, AVG , Avast are free antivirus software. Ad-aware, Spybot, Ewido are free spyware removers. You can download free softwares at http://fixit.in/antivirus.html and http://fixit.in/spywareremover.html . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info

Funny yaar! If it is with the mouse I would never come here to check…it’s a virus that takes over the control of the movement of mouse from side to like we throw ball in the squash room. There is no further harm but we need mouse to work!
