    Greetings Honorable Geeks:major:)

    As posted in recent weeks, had two destructive malware attacks which leveled me (Thank you TimW for helping me through) The one thing I noticed prior to the malware attacks - is a scrolling browser - so rapid difficult to even type - it is random- shuts down my emails as I type them, and close out any database I have open (work). It will shut down my emails as I type them. (actually just closed out this request for help).

    Two weeks ago I finally got my system clean and reset up my system. All fine for a week - and now the rapid scrolling is starting again. I did observe a post in 2005 - that attributed this to a bad mouse - I can get a new mouse. Also the settings on my browser (pops up blocks) keeps turning the settings off. Yes I downloaded all I was suppose to. Have licensed copies of Avast and Mbam - showing no virus.

    TimW (Hi TimW) that the Anti malware and anti virus did not protect emails/browser activity (I may have misunderstood). Is there any software I can download to run and or protect browser issues or threats? Thank you! Just trying to stay afloat;) Anyone else have this issue?

    Respectfully
    Snapper

    I don't understand alot of what you are saying. If you think you have got yourself reinfected then you will have to run through the usual procedures which you are familiar with. If it turns out that I am not finding malware then I will send you off to another forum to further discuss the problem. :)

    Greetings Kestrel13! -

    Thank you for your response. :)

    After having my system compromised to the point of having to format c:, I have only been back up for about a week and still loading in the basics such as drivers. This happened twice since Feb 25th. On each one of these malware events, before I was leveled, I started having an unusual 'rogue' browser condition where the browser page scrolls rapidly up and down whether I am typing or not. If I am typing, it closes the page or backs out of it. This also happens in MSword. My questions - has anyone seen this before?

    I checked similar threads and found one back in 2005 where it was suspected a bad mouse. For diagnostics, I should probably just try a new mouse.

    Also today I came across some of your 'EXCELLENT' work in helping someone who became infected with the "Adobe X" (something). Oddly after reading that and sending in my post - I realized I also just downloaded this program - and soon thereafter the browser issue again started happening. I actually 'removed' the Adobe X, and thus far the browser has been - mellow.

    Yes, and thanks to you and the great :major warriors, I am familiar with Chaslangs program. I just wanted to know - has anyone else complained about this 'rogue' browser condition?

    Avast and Malware bytes, Kaspirsky reports no problem. If it continues - I shall run the :major program.

    Thank you for your time:)

    Yes if it continues attach the requested logs. It is the only way I will be able to know if malware resides on your system currently or not.

    Thank you and I will. Just disconnected my mouse... and low and behold it stopped. Hopefully - I will not be bothering you soon. Thank you again for your help to others!

    QUESTION ON ADOBE....
    Due to my virus/malware fears - I deleted my Adobe yesterday after reading about the Adobe X issue/malware. Do you know what version is safe to download now? Again thanks to you - (another thread) I learned of this. If you have a moment, please advise:)

    You can ask about this in the software forum. I apologise but we are over run at the moment what with new infections etc... :) Thanks for understanding.
