    My external mouse has been double clicking when I only single click it. I first posted this issue in malware removal but they told me to post it here. Its not my double click speed as I have reduced that to 0.

    I have a Windows 7 OS and Im on a HP Pavilion g7-2010nr Noteback laptop

    How old is the mouse and what kind (brand)?

    I think that helped me out. I will give it a few days to see if this continues.

    If it starts again I would plug in another mouse and see how it works. If it acts up then it's likely a hardware/software issue. If not then it's probably the mouse.

    I also had a similar double-click issue a few months ago, at the same time I was experiencing other problems with the keyboard. After I replaced the keyboard, the mouse problems also went away.

    What is this? Where did it come from? Why should someone trust this?

    Thanks for this!
    I've also seen this. (something about sharing the same bus) Swapping out the keyboard is an easy troubleshoot... ;)
