computer touchiness

I’m not sure if I should post this here or where, but over the last two weeks or so, my PC is so stinking “touchy” that it’s driving me nuts. You click on an email to read it, and it automatically opens up one with which to reply to the original email. I go to drop down my address bar to load up a new Web page and it goes up and down a few dozen times. I try to highlight something in a Word document and sometimes it’ll stay highlighted and then sometimes it won’t.

Do I have some kind of a virus or something? Does anyone know what the heck is going on?

I would really appreciate anyone’s help because this is driving me crazy. I work from home and it’s really starting to reflect in my work product!

Thanks!

Try the usual hacks
run ccleaner to clean out the cache
reboot
better yet update avast and schedule a boot time scan then reboot (when you can be down for awhile like overnight)
now, please
which OS?
run secunia software inspector and what did you find?
which browser?
active tasks
tasks at boot
etc
