:huh: You sure it was an external problem?
That almost sounds like what happens when something on my system decides to run an automatic update.... which is why I have all of em turned off. <_<

I don't let my system do that, period.
It seems to have passed now, so either I got rid of it or it's dormant for now.
It kept doing this on upstart as soon as I'd started my comp when I tried to startup with an external connect, Even when I did it in safe-mode.
I hope it wasn't anyone here, but the thing is kAb's comment came right before it hit me, and that made me extra paranoid.
Edit: at first it started when KaZaA was on, so I'll see what happens when I start it up.

It seems to be gone now, I'm on KaZaA now, it pisses me off though, and I'm fairly certain whatever it was, was intentional, the way the mouse pointer behaved makes me fairly certain. I'll have to update stuff this week and close a few ports on the firewall I think may have been the problem.
And go through my registry myself, since none of my proggies can find anything.
Edit: you comp. illiterate? I had you figured for a genious :lol:

Hello again, I figured out what it was, it's a virus I think, which is messing with my mouse drivers, Pushing buttons at random, and making it do stuff.
For now I've done some fiddlin', I figured out it only hits PS/2 connections, so I'm using my serial for now, the annoying part is I'm havingto use a trackball right now.
As long as there is no PS/2 mouse input everything works quite well, if it receives a siganal it adds to it and distorts it I think and the process seems to start and stop at irregular intervals, I've never seen anything like it, now I'll just have to track it down.
:lol: i guess so cos i was thinking you might come back with 'deeply' :lol:Quote:

Glad to hear you figured it out SnnY :)
Well I'm not sure if I've purged my system, but I appear to have removed whatever activates it, I think.
Not sure though, time will have to tell, now I'm waiting, if the process pops up again I will be back to trying to fix again.
Meanwhile I'm waiting for an update for my antivirus that can get it out, or the next time I reformat, whatever comes first.
It's funny now, once I think I've got it under control.
Not at the time though :(
You are correct :lol:
It's really disturbing when something gets your computer, when you think it's fairly secure. My current theory is that two of the girls at school sent it to me, I don't think it was on purpose though, but everything happened right after that. :huh: <_<
At first I thought it was someone here, probably because I saw the word "virus" two seconds before it happened. :unsure:
Now I think I'll be holding a little lecture on computer security come this tuesday, when I meet them next. :angry:
and give them a copy of your av!!! or show them where to download a free one
What, to scare them into submission? :huh:
i'm confused :unsure:Quote:

"Give them a copy of your av" you said, I thought the general consensus was that it was a bit odd, "you cruelly made it jump out at you and do some blurry thing" Jonno said.
(Which is one of the reasons I'm keeping it I guess :lol: :P )
Edit: Oh wait you meant my antivirus, Nah I've already showed them another one last week. :rolleyes:
Really? :blink:Quote:
