You may already have a virus/spyware hijack

download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling
viruses are not present on your PC
http://vil.mcafeesecurity.com/vil/averttools.asp

- update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the
CoolWebSearch hijacker.
http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:
http://www.trendmicro.com/cwshredder/

download AdAware SE Personal Edition from www.lavasoftusa.com, install,
update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from
your system.

Hey Noel,
If this is an aged mouse, couldn't it simply have a short in its'

Seeing as we are all so much younger, we wouldn't know.

However, I won't ask any embarrassing questions of you re 'shorts in
your tail' ...LOL!!

It's certainly possible, H - but my money is on malware :)
