There is an internet attack that can make your computer mouse not work properly. It may come by VBScript in Internet Explorer 6. It may be generating duplicate files or hide in duplicated files. You can remove the duplicated files with McAfee QuickClean to make the mouse work better. You may be able to increase internet security by setting your magnetic hard disk
and other folders on "hidden" mode in Windows XP. You can perhaps try to make your own file folders with long names to avoid internet computer attacks. You can encrypt some of your intenet programs to help avoid internet attacks. You can maximize your internet security settings and disable javascript use to increase security. You can perhaps also use longer passwords; small binary words sizes or passwords, and smaller computer programs should be generally weaker than larger ones.:D

Thank goodness I use Linux :)

A link would be helpful so we actually know what you are talking about:)

More BS

That elephant dung now.

Actually Trojans like Subseven first generated a method of "Forking" your Mouse driver so that the trojan could manipulate the mouse movements. However the way they connected to the driver meant that it did not alter the original mouse driver session, so your cursor wouldn't suddenly move to a different point on the screen.

However a tell tail sign is when someone is using the mouse at the computer end and a trojan user is trying to manipulate it, as it causes the mouse cursor to start shaking as if it want's to be in two places at the same time.

As for VBScript and mouse cursors, it wouldn't suprise me since afterall a preportion of VB allows the position of your cursor to be known, and even allows through a OnEventFocus (going from memory) for a mouse to be place at any point on the screen.

So a script could be written to move your mouse cursor in circles etc. (In fact there is a small program on the net that demostrates this, where the cursor moves in circles to a size you can choose. It was originally made to either stop the windows screensave password kicking in, or just to help with keeping some internet connections alive through cursor activity)

I would suggest if anyone has a problem with there system, not to just rely upon one corporate brand to fix the problem, as sometimes those corporate labeled products are targetted by those that write the malicious code, so can falsely suggest nothing is wrong.

When I had placed my folders on "hidden" mode and cleared my duplicate files my incoming email using "Outlook Express" started working again. You may be able to minimize hacker attacks by shutting down the ports that you are not using. Ports are memory locations that the operating software uses to communicate to other programs and email. You may be able to adjust your ports on "Windows" at the the "Register Key" by typing regedit.exe in the "Run" window.

The duplicate files were using the AMD processor; this may have caused to mouse not to get its turn quick enough.

The duplicate files of part of my programs made were over 50 files;
an internet cookie may have caused to duplicated files.

Rude replies here will not get personal response.

Cookies CANNOT do anything malicious to your computer. They are NOT dangerous, they are NOT viruses. Take a look at some of my posts and please realize I know what I'm talking about. Cookies never EVER contain any more information about your or your computer than that of what the website already knew. They can't store things on your computer, cookies are not programs. Please be educated before you post.

Rude replies here will not get personal response.The more you post, the more I understand your computer background. The way you use general terms to describe the problem makes me thinking you are either talking about heresay or making stuff up yourself.

In the early days, Cookies were a pain in the rear, since sites tended to use them for plain text password storage.

Thats all a cookie really is, is just session data storage, like nowadays perhaps an encrypted password, or what is more likely is session data that can be communicated with the server to work out the actual login. Cookies are NON-EXECUTABLE, unlike Javascript.

Cookies have a life expectancy and can be rigged to Expire after a certain date, this was to help with sites being updated or to make sure people created a fresh cookie.

Cookie usage has somewhat depleted over the years, you can still find them in use will bulletin boards and advertisements but on the most part website owners tend to generate session data at their end now to remove the problems that data being stored on a persons computer previously had.

Some program from the internet was affecting my computer mouse cursor up/down movement, and how did all these hundreds of programs/keys get duplicated on my Windows XP software? Believe me, there is some internet attacks. There is no need to make personal attacks against me; I may have to complain to the owner of this website.

Feel free. I've only expressed my opinion as to your lack of knowledge on the subject. A few of us, myself included, make our living in Internet and computer security. We've spent many years in school, keep up to date on current events and technologies, and you seem to lack even the vocabulary to talk about it. I would feel bad if I let people believe things that were untrue.

You sound like the old man claiming that people get sick because they were cursed. You don't know the cause and immediately make up something without researching the true cause. If I accidently chip the paint off my car one day, and the next day it won't start, then to the uneducated it may seem as though the chipped paint has broken the car, but the fact is its far more complicated. The computer is an incredibly complicated peice of machinery It becomes more complicated each day. Please trust us. If you'd like to know some real possible causes, please just ask.

Wow.
