I was using AVG anti virus and mb3-setup-consumer-3.1.2.1733.exe Mouse behaviour If left untouched for a period, my mouse needed a button click in order to function. It seemed to be moving slowly, and would drift upwards, when hovering over a link. Modded the setup to max speed, but it still wasn't right. (In all my decades of computing, I've never experienced this mouse behaviour) I had watched F1 via a stream - many such streams launch an advert new window if the stream page is clicked. This would be a good way of forcing the user to click the page. Opening a new firefox tab : unknown software exception (0xc0000409) occurred in the application at location 0x00406b64 Malwarebytes scan Tried to run a Malwarebytes scan, but it wouldn't run. Spybot found nothing threatening. Installed super antispyware - it found no threats. Chameleon Ran chameleon - option 2 worked - it suggested that I upgrade, which I did to 3.5.1 However, 3.5 wouldn't launch. Uninstalled it and reinstalled 3.1 Option 2 no longer worked ... I think it was option 8 that worked ... I ran a scan ... zero threats. Note: each time an option wouldn't work, it would stop at 'enabling driver' requiring a reboot every time. Testing the 13 options took a long time. 3.5.1 Reinstalled 3.5.1 - it wouldn't launch, but it did launch the following day (maybe it needed a reboot). Ran a scan - zero threats. ------------------------ I finally finished a big report last night. Today, booted the PC ... Malwarebytes blocked 198.134.112.243 (outbound) - I hadn't launched a connection to that site. I am alerted at regular intervals of this site being blocked. -Blocked Website Details- Malicious Website: 1 , , Blocked, [-1], [-1],0.0.0 -Website Data- Category: Unspecified Domain: IP Address: 198.134.112.243 Port: [0] Type: Outbound File: Loaded scanurl.net in Firefox - https crossed out, and the url input box did not display. Loaded scanurl.net in Chrome - https displayed - the url input boxes appeared momentarily, then disappeared, and were inaccessible. Checked the site in google transparency and phishtank - result : clean I noticed that the mouse was now functioning correctly!!! ------------ What to do? Is it possible that malware can be switched on and off? Does anybody recognise this strange mouse behaviour? Might the mouse be working correctly because 198.134.112.243 is now being blocked? Could this be simple suppression - general time-wasting aspect of a varied package of measures?

That off/on fix doesn't work for me. I get this issue whenever there's a version update to Malwarebytes. Any other suggestions on a fix?

I used to right click my mouse curser over documents to reveal a "drop down" menu of actions I could take (Open, Preview, 7-Zip, etc). One of these was Malwarebytes, until today. I used to scan everything with Malwarebytes before I'd open it to make sure it was safe. Today, the Malwarebytes Scan option was gone and I'm afraid to open anything. I don't think I caused this error, but how can I get it back? I have Windows 8.1 Pro running on an HP laptop. Thank you for any help.

Having an issue where my mouse is not working on my PC. Earlier today I ran Malware and got hit with a hundred or so Trojans in my Razer files. I quarantined everything and ran a few more scans, quarantining anything that came up. At some point my Razer Taipan stopped working so I plugged in an old Razer lachesis and that worked for awhile. Unfortunately that stopped working after a restart. I then came to the forums for help after a system restore failed to fix my mouse and saw all the false positive issues with Razer. I hoped to simply restore everything Malware quarantined but I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and no longer have those quarantine logs. My latest system restore failed to work because it could not find a System32/MRT.exe file. I'm unfamiliar with just about all of this and it's been really difficult navigating everything with just my keyboard. I'm a little exasperated with the entire process because I'm incredibly out of my depth. I also tried using a basic USB mouse that came with the computer and that won't work either. I feel like Malware quarantined something essential for a mouse to work but I don't know where to even begin. Any help or suggestions would be extremely appreciated.
