Ok i need help bad. on my other computer which is my primary computer ( or was) i got a virus or something and i dont know what it is . Ive tried everything but nothing helps. What is happening is the mouse seems to have a mind of its own. When i go up it takes over and goes left , right , up down. It also opens programs, it commonly opens the user accounts section. And another thing, when i start windows in safe mode there is another account called administrator that i didnt create. I dont know the password and im really mad. Im running of windows XP professional , if anyone can help me that would be greatly apreciated. Im thinking about reinstalling but i want to see if i can solve this without doing that.

well the way you discribed it sounds like a virus. can't be ad-aware or spyware. are you good with computers? or are you just a regular. i'm going to need to know before helping so its easier for you.

drifterX · 02-27-2004, 08:58 PM

im very good with computers. if i dont know something i learn it.

yashar · 02-27-2004, 09:01 PM

when you say you don't know the password, do you mean its been changed or what. or are you sayin someone made an administrative accound and made a password. kuhz if thats the case then it seems like someone is accessing your computer from somewhere else. kinduz like hacking. i'm not positive tho. i'll tell other people to take this to their attention.

the administrator account is only visible in when i start windows in safe mode and i doubt its hackers because my computer has been like this since november or so. ( im a little lazy yeah) Got rid of internet and everything and i turned it on today and still the same so no one else is axcessing it.

Have you tried logging in as the administrator and not tpying in a password? I think it sets it as a default w/out a pword.

As far as the mouse thing goes, if it is an optical, chage the USB port, and re-install the drivers. on top of that, make sure your antivirus is well up to date.

Also do a scandisk and defrag.

drifterX · 02-27-2004, 09:34 PM

did all that. Its not the mouse because ive tried several mouses and sometimes it even moves when im not even touching the mouse.

yashar · 02-27-2004, 09:35 PM

take the mouse out of its socket....... if it still moves then you prolly have to reinstall xp.

ADZ · 02-27-2004, 09:37 PM

do an online virus scan. if you can get that far with the annoying mouse thing.

I would reccomend a re-install of xp if all else fails. Is it a USB mouse?
