Mouse moves on its own from time to time

Hey all,

I am having a problem lately with my mouse. At times it moves to specific points on its own!
It goes to the 'X' of a window or to the "Start" etc.
I suspect a virus/malware but haven't found anything.
I am using WinXP Pro with SP2, all updates made, Norton Antivirus 2003, Kerio Firewall.
The mouse is a Microsoft basic optical USB mouse.
I have considered it to be a USB hardware problem but the fact that it goes to specific points in the screen ("X", "Start", etc) makes me think it's a virus or sth...

Here is my HijackThis Log:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi ador,

Please update HijackThis, you are using an outdated version. The new version does a better job of detecting malware:

Open HijackThis, click Config > Misc Tools > Check for Update online

Or download a copy of version 1.99 at:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html

If you downloaded the newer version, please delete the older version you are using now.

Post a fresh log with this new version.

Tom

Your log is generally clean. There are an awful lot of start up entries. I would consider going through them and seeing which ones are not needed. Let's deal with this first:

This line in your running processes concerns me:

C:\DOCUME~1\Antonis\LOCALS~1\Temp\6850431.tmp

I would like you to perform an onlne virus scan at Trend Micro Housecall

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Select all of your drives listed for scanning. Please check "Auto clean" before scanning.

Please copy and paste the report logs from the scan into your next post. If you can't capture the information, please write down what was found and if anything was or was not deleted. Please include this information in your next post along with a fresh HijackThis log.
