    I'm sorry if I shouldn't have started a new thread, but I'm not too familiar with forums.

    I initially started investigating the problem because my mouse was acting up - not selecting blocks of text as expected, registering multiple clicks, closing down multiple apps at a time. It may still be that my mouse is dying, but that behaviour is still occuring, even after finding and removing some malware. If it's relevant, i switched from AVG 8.5 to Avira - but that was after the infection.

    At present, the only symptom I can spot is the odd mouse behaviour, but I'm pretty sure something still isn't right.

    thanks in advance, i really appreciate that people give up their time to help others.

    Sorry for posting a reply, I tried to find how to edit my post, but couldn't find how to, or any explanation of how to do that.

    I forgot one thing in my initial post - which is to say that MsConfig was not there when I tried to run it, and I don't have install discs or another machine from which I could copy it.

    The other thing is, I'd really like to know either way whether it looks like there's any malware on my PC. Like I say, it's still misbehaving in the way that led me to suspect an infection in the first place, but nothing seems to show up, that I can see. Could it be something more run of the mill than malware?

    Thanks

    I am not seeing any malware in your logs. Can you not go to start / run / and type msconfig? Are you saying nothing happens when you do that?

    If so, try this:

    Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
    Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
    to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.


    If you want to further check for malware, please do this:
    Using BitDefender Online Scan.
