Virus question
While working on my daughter's computer yesterday ( i ran malwarebytes and was finally able to get rid of that pesky system security), I noticed her mouse is not acting the way it should. It jumps around alot and would not allow me to click on certain things. I had a hard time with it and was wondering if anyone knows of a virus that acts like this. Anything that she has gotten on her computer, came from Imesh. I ran a free virus scan from panda and it did not find any viruses, but i am sure she has one.
Thanks for any advise.

Let's start with the obvious/easy: have you tried connecting a different mouse to the system, to see if that has any impact on the problem?
Since you've already run a virus (Panda) scan and malware ( MalwareBytes) scan, you've done a reasonable check of these issues.
I assume you have a resident anti-virus program on the machine --- have you scanned with it?
There are some other scans we could try (not that I really expect them to find anything more), but I really think it best to check out the mouse (hardware) first...
