My touchpad and external mouse acts erratically

Getting worse, it intermittently starts jotting all over the screen and clicks on everything. I can't control it, I try to drag it back to where i want it and it acts like the pointer is stuck to one part of the screen. I tried cleaning the touchpad, turned down the sensitivity, and did a system restore. What really gets me is if i turn off the touchpad, the external mouse i plug in through the usb does the same thing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Sandie

It sounds like you might have gotten attacked by a hacker ive seen them control screens

if things return to normal quickly then they got you bugged a good solid firewall program will stop this hacks from getting in
