Virus that controls the mouse

by kenneth.l.armstrong . Updated 17 years, 12 months ago

A friend’s PC has got this wierd virus that will take control of his mouse and do some odd stuff. One instance is that it took his mouse curser, opened up the Start menu, then opened up notepad, started typing in all kinds of junk, tried to close itself out without saving, then opened up his DOS command, and started typing in nonexistant commands. No one is hacking into his computer, because this computer will not be connected to the internet at all. He has tried numerous antivirus, spyware, and adware programs, but none of them find this problem. It doesn’t cause any damage, just annoys the heck out of him. Does anyone know what this thing is? If I can figure out what the program name is and the registry settings, I can manually remove it by using KNOPPIX, but I got to figure out what that info is. Thanks in advance!
