Like what CWB indicates, compressed air, clean soft bristle paint brush, etc. Just by replacing the mouse with another will show you its the mouse.

Post #2

You have 6GB of RAM. How is that installed ? 3 x 2GB modules ? 1 x 2GB and 1 x 4GB module ? What is the make and model of the computer and what are the RAM modules and what speed are they ? Example: PC3-10600 BTW: I'll bet the "6 Viruses" Norton 360 removed weren't "viruses" but were actually trojans.

Thank you. Please examine the underside of the mouse where you see the LED and clean the aperture of dust and/or hair.

Bruce: What you wrote flew over my head. Its not like a Barter system or Precious Metal backed system. It may seem like something worthwhile in the short term but in the long term its worth is devaluated and may even have an associated cost. False Economy

BitCoin miners have become an issue and is a trojan that is increasingly being seen. Personally I think BitCoin is a false economy. This is a representative sample; new malware

Erratic mouse behaviour is not a sign of malicious activity (unless your mouse moves all by itself even then it may not be malicious but a coincidence of wireless operation) Is it a Optical mouse ? Is it a ball mouse ? Is it a wireless mouse ? Is it a USB, PS/2 or is is a mechanism on a notebook ?

Most applications must be installed through an Operating System (OS). You can't just transfer folders of an application or run an application of a drive removed from another system. About the only thing you can recover is the Hallmark Card software data files and maybe the application settings. You have to obtain the installer for the Hallmark Card application and run the installer on the new OS.

Ron: Doesn't make sense if she was networking, albeit intermittently, via the fixed Ethernet port. That is unless a Layered Service Provider was messed up in the removal of the ZeroAccess RK. Kate: The MAC address and the serial number won't help. Neither are "Model numbers". For example on the below Belkin USB to Centronics (parallel) cable you can see it is a Belkin F5U002 I am going to take a stab that it is indeed the Belkin F4U047-RS. You can download the drivers below. Just run the utility. Belkin F4U047-RS Windows Drivers

Kate: That's NOT good. I can't believe it didn't come with a disk with drivers. Without Win7/64 driver's the OS will not be able to work with it to do networking. Is there a specific Belkin model number. It most likely will start with the letter 'F'. Maybe; F4U047-RS ?

Kate: I'm glad that issue was ultimately resolved. USB Ethernet adapter's should include a CDROM with OS drivers such that the OS you are using can use the device as an Ethernet controller. You would then install those drivers subsequently connecting the Ethernet cable to that Belkin device. Then power cycle the Westell Modem+Router such that it will recognize a new device is connected to it. Did the Belkin include a CDROM ?

OK, glad you got it figured out.

Danke Ron.

IDE hard disks Plug 'n Play and don't need drivers. The only drivers, 1in this case, are for "USB Mass Storage Devices" which is built into the OS. IDE drives do work in a Master/Slave relationship. It is important to make sure the HD is jumpered to operate in Master mode so it communicates properly with the USB to IDE interface. 1 In the case where an IDE drive is directly connected to a system, there of course have to be properly installed IDE chip-set drivers.

You have power applied to the IDE drive and the drive powers up (you hear/feel it spin) ? What did you get ?

Kate: "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" No, I am not calling you a horse. I am using this old phrase because the concept is apropos. Firefox interjected and I stated then I would defer. You chose not to follow Firefox's advice. And so we continued. I suggested a USB Ethernet adapter on March 5th. As I wrote on the morning of March 6th... I tried to impart upon you the concept of getting it done then while you had the time. You chose not to obtain it until the last minute. This left you no wiggle room. I TRUST Melboy's opinion that he saw signs of a ZeroAccess RootKit in logs you posted on March 2cnd. Which brings us back to Firefox's post on March 2cnd. It is our POV that these issues had a priority. We can't make you follow our suggestions but will abide by your decisions. ** USB Ethernet adapter's should include a CDROM with OS drivers such that the OS can use it as an Ethernet controller.

I have the latest Notepad++ but not that DLL

Based upon the interjected post by melboy, I'll defer until at such point other problems are resolved and the issue still exists.

No it was not detected as a "virus". TrendMicro detected it as a generic trojan as noted by the name TROJ_GEN.R31C0C7 It's a False Positive declaration and you can exclude the file "mbam-killer.exe" or the "C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Chameleon" folder from future scans.

Kate: It's a faux conclusion to think that just because you have had no reply, a post had not been read. If you edit a post with new content it will not generate an email alerting followers of added information. You can make such changes within a 15 min. period, maybe even within 30 minutes, but 6 hrs is way too long to go back and insert new content. OT: Frank is not dead. He is in outer space represented by the celestial body called 3834 Zappa Frank and he has "always been out-there". As for Robert Zimmerman (aka; Bob Dylan) he almost got arrested on on our boardwalk in the summer of '09. He looked like sh!t and was acting like a peeping tom looking into some houses just off the boardwalk. One was For Sale and the owners looked at him thought he looked like a bum and called the Police. The Police officer, Kristie Buble, didn't know who he was and he couldn't produce ID. He said he was staying at a local Hotel and the Police took him there and his band had to vouch for him. I remember that incident well.

DLink and Cisco are both fine. G72 B20 no PCMCIA BTW: If you make a post such as you did at 1444 hrs and you have new information, please don't go back 6 hrs later and change the content. Sure you can go back and edit a post for clarity, spelling, grammar or structure but not for new content. New content should be made in a new post.

Walmart - Arghhhhhhhhhh ! D-Link High-Speed USB 2.0 To Ethernet Adapter HP G72B60 no PCMCIA

Gee, I would have thought it barks like an Airdale.

BTW: That's RUNDLL32.EXE Reminds me of the malware that hides in plain site by impersonating LSASS.EXE as ISASS.EXE ( lsass.exe vs. Isass.exe) because the lowercase for "L" is "l" and it looks similar (in many fonts) to the uppercase for "i" which is "I" and in the Windows OS UPPERCASE and lowercase characters in a file name are treated the same in contrast to 'nix based OS'. In this case "1" is close but not the same as "l" (L) and "I" (i).

Just keep educating them.
