Cursor disappears during yahoo games

Running Windows XP Home
I have been a member here for a little while now, and try to keep my computer clean, updating and running my "goodies" to keep the bad guys out.
With school over, I caught my daughter on my computer. Let me tell you how..
I have my homepage set to majorgeeks. I run Firefox, so am automatically signed in. Came home yesterday, turned on computer and MG told me I had last logged on at 13:36. This was impossible. I was at work. I have an alibi....

Anyways...........I went to yahoo games,spades, and as I was playing, my cursor kept disappearing. I would wiggle mouse and it would reappear, only to disappear again. I finished game and exited yahoo games. It works fine on any other page, just not yahoo games. I did a search on MG, but found no one with similiar problem.

Tried again today to see what would happen, and sure enough, this time I went to yahoo games.dominoes, and same thing,. Cursor disappears.

I ran Adaware, Spybot S & D,
Trend came out clean,
but Panda found an infected file in my Windows Registry.

Incident Status Location
Adware:Adware/Startpage.JY No disinfected Windows Registry
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks MA. I did check out the website, but don't think this is my problem. My homepage has not been changed.

I did check hosts file, and only have the one in there that I need.

Just tried going to yahoo games in IE and did not have the problem. Maybe something to do with Firefox? Maybe not spyware at all?

Just changed and went into Firefox and tried it. No problem there either this morning. So possibly was nothing.
Thanks again for the help.
