Hi, I have this virus or something that when on the Windows desktop if I simply move the mouse it starts opening everything it can find, like files on the desktop and applications. Then I have to wait for ages until it is finished before you can start closing things. I have VET anti-virus but it doesn't pickup anything, even with the latest definitions. Has anyone heard of this before?
 
Try running your Vet antivirus in Safe Mode. Also try one of the free online scanners found here faq760-3862.
 
i had the same problem with my pc but it turned out to be a faulty mouse...

..maybe this is the case?



i like anything fast enough to do something stupid in..
