my cursor changes shape
Dear Dell members,
When I click on certain sites or when I use my password saving software I find my cursor suddenly changes shape. Currently I have just an arrow,but this shape changing baffles me. The arrow mysteriously changes to two small arrows, one at top and one at the bottom with a large dot in the middle. The color of the changed cursor becomes a bold black color and I can't return it to it's original shape without turning my pc off. I have run several scans i.e. my McAffee which is my personal one, also trend micro free scan and microsoft live 1 care which is also a free scan these all turned up nothing. I also ran 3 different spy scans such as spybot,lavasoft and web root. they just turn up tracking cookings which are ranked as low level threats. I haven't ran a panda scan because they want me to purchase their software before they remove any threats. Any suggestions or comments would be welcome.

Please indicate exactly which sites you click on that invokes this behavior.
Meanwhile, go ahead and scan with Panda ActiveScan. As indicated in the Key features listed at the bottom of that page, the Online scan Will most definitely remove viruses, worms and trojans.
It's the variety of spyware, dialers, hacking tools, security risks, and malicious joke software that you have to "Pay Panda for" in order to get any benefit of THAT removal.
The good news is, you WON'T have to pay if you post the log back here. We'll remove what it finds, free of charge!
