    Virus or?

    I have been having a problem just recently that showed up.My mouse looses control of the curser and different screens begin to pop up all over the screen.
    I have run three different virus detectors, Nortons, Trend, AVG and none have located a virus.
    Anyone got any ideas? I know it has to do with the VBS, long story but I am about 98% sure it is a VBS virus somehow.

    Hi.. have a look at this earlier thread and see if it helps you.

    Also do a search for "crazy mouse" in the win 98 forum here and you'll get lots more threads about the same thing.

    Carpenturr?
    ARe you talking aobut the loveletter one? If so....here's the fix tool.
    Though if I were betting on a virus...I'd be thinking it was The Magistr virus?

    You just might need a new mouse.
    BTW, what type of mouse is it? PS2?
