    Hi guys.
    My mouse is clicking by it self whenever it wants, how many times it wants,
    wherever I leave it on. It will ocasionally happen.
    It's so hard to write this message since its clicking all over the place
    selecting the text and I type when something is selected.


    This started about a week ago when my girlfriend was cheking her email
    I wasn't around but she told me she didn't do anything that dangerous.

    I believe the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and TDSSKiller logs didnt find anything
    (also I think theres a TDSSKiller log inside the MGlogs.zip for some reason
    you must know)


    Please help me , this is very painfull.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    You did not attach any of the logs we requested. You need to attach them so that we can assess your PC. However do note that 99.99% of the time we get complaints like this, it is a hardware issue or a driver issue or software conflict for the mouse and is not malware. Did you at least try a different mouse? Also did you test to see if it also happens in safe boot mode?

    It is hard to say it happens in safe mode as well cause it will only happens sometimes, altough at the time I was there running the anti malware and anti virus 2 days ago it didn't happen.

    But in normal mode I've tried unplugging the usb mouse and this still happens to
    the mouse pad.

    I have this mouse:
    http://steelseries.com/products/gam.../world-of-warcraft-cataclysm-mmo-gaming-mouse
    on a asus g1 with windows 7.

    Its hard for me to find another mouse around. I will try to repost the logs.
    What would you suggest?

    It does not appear to be malware. Your logs are clean. You may want to try removing software that you recently installed like the below to see if any of then are causing you problems.

    Also have you tried using a System Restore point from before the problem began.

    I will have to refer you to the Software Forun for additional support as this is not malware.



    Since you are not having malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. Go back to step 4 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    2. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    3. If running Vista or Win 7, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    4. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    5. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    6. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
