When I browse websites either on FF or IE, once in a while the mouse moves slowly to top-left of the screen and try to go beyond there. It blinks and nudges. If I click the mouse it stops; but starts again in a while.
I regularly visit a site for work leads; strange thing is, if I create or browse a file in my pc; say xyz; next day or in few hours I get a lead that title has xyz or similar. I browse the site dialogic for telephony cards and see their developer site has kit called ‘Diva SDK’; I get a promotional email from msn something about ‘Diva girls’; All the ads I get browsing websites has some or other keywords that matches the files I browse in my pc or the websites I browsed. Whatever it is there, it finds the recent activities in all the networked pc.
I run Avast pro 60 days trial at boot time and others like norton, process explorer, security task manager etc etc. Avast found win32 gen Trojan (others) in two volume restore point files; I choose to delete them; nothing else. Avast is running now with all the components on at sensitivity ‘high’.
I can’t trace what is going on; I run HiJackThis; nothing suspicions. I even replaced userinit.exe.
Except for MSN messenger and Skype there is nothing runs all the time.

Download, install and update the programs.
Always select the option to quarantine any malware found rather than delete it, then you will be able to restore files or registry entries wrongly identified as malware- a rare but not unknown event for any malware scanner.
It is not that we do not believe. It is that we are eliminating the usual culprits.
Perhaps HijackThis can give us a clue.
Please download HijackThis from the link below. Do not download HJT to the desktop but instead download it into it’s own folder on the hard drive.
Run the program but do not make any fixes and then post the log results using the “copy & paste” method. It will probably take more than one post to be able to get the complete log posted.
OR, you can post it as an attachment to your post by clicking on “Additional Options…” below left of the posting box.
When you post the log, be sure to include the complete log … header and ending.
Someone will review your log and then offer help.
HJT doesn’t show anything serious, just update IE6 to IE8 via windows update. By the way, avast seems to be installed on a weird location or was it just customly installed?
Not sure updating IE would do anything because the bug is scrapping data from across the network; my vista laptop has IE 8, it scraps from there too. whoo :o Anything you type or browse in pc or browse websites, it just compiles all of that.
I don’t know if this was posted previously in this topic…
looks silly but it has worked sometimes :the surface you use to place the mouse on- use a plane paper, fold it twice and place on the surface and try.
check if the mouse is working by connecting it to other computer. if its okay then try connecting different mouse to your computer and see if same thing happens.
