Hi, I am one of the uninitiated on viruses and new at this, I downloaded the free software and since then have contacted a virus or worm and cannot find the type or name.
I experience loss of mouse functions, keyboard loss, cannot write letters and numerals etc., programs will open and close. It will affect the computer whether I am on the internet or not. When on the internet it will close the URL that I am logged onto, open and close IE and Outlook Express and when the mouse does work it will jump all over the screen opening windows programs which are on the destop, as well as try to change the desktop features, such as screensaver properties, windows styles etc.
I experience this as soon as I log on and cannot run the avast scanner on occasion, but if I can get it open and checking, it detects nothing as a virus or worm, and no corrupted files.
Any help on this or if someone has experienced it will be very much appreciated.
Some things that I have done was to run a virus removal tool for the nimda viruses, both type A and E and their varients but that too came up negative. Please help, I miss my computer and want to get up and running again.
Thank you, Native1
