Mouse is moving by itself, is my comp hacked?

[littlegohan]

My mouse would move for a few seonds unexpectetly (happends rarely)

it doesnt click on anything just kinda "wobble" and move

Is it possible that some installed a trojan into my comp, or is my mouse having problems?

my mouse is a wheel mouse optical

sounds more like an optical issue. Not many script kiddies play with remote desktop. Are you using your optical on a shiny surface, such as a waxed table?

 

[Kelvrick]

Might jsut be your mouse. The curser on my laptop is often attracted to the bottom of the screen.

 

[TallBill]

remote desktop fooling is great

I use several optical mice...they all move by themselves to some degree or another.

I have a ball mouse that will do this. It will scoot over about an inch to the right at times. Only happens at the desktop, never jumped around on me when playing a game.

My Intellimouse Explorer does this too.

 

[rutchtkim]

check for a virus

Wouldn't happen if you had the Microsoft Trackball Explorer. Fits in your hand perfectly, does the job like a gem!

Ugh. I tried one and I can't stand it. The buttons were in weird places and the click felt funny.
I've had this Logitech Trackman FX for years and never had a problem... and yes, it's optical.
Bonus feature: People have no idea how to use it. Keeps them off my comp.

I doubt that you've been hacked. If you had, you would probably have noticed some other ill effects. I have a MS Intellimouse Optical (not the Explorer) and every now and then, it jumps around or files all around the screen, but within in a second or two, it always comes back. I think it's just the optical eye spazzing or something.

 

[littlegohan]

yeah
i think is the mouse


i have checked with north corp 7.61 for virus as well as swait for trojans and I found nothing

 

[bonk102]

i'd say it's the mouse, mine does it every now and then too

 

[pyonir]

mine does too. i don't have an optical at the moment though.

 

[Nefrodite]

i think thats a problem with all single optical sensor mice

It's likely you have been posessed by a Demon that has incomplete mastery of host invisibility. You may also notice occassional involuntary body twitching or muscle cramps.

 

[Chaotic42]

Unplug your mouse and see if it still happens

 

[KennyTheGreat]

feed it some cheese

I think Moonbeam's on the right track: It's not the mouse really moving, however. It's staying in once place, but the monitor is moving around it. (It's all relativity...)

i've got the mouse problems and the body twitches, except for the muscle cramps! :Q
