Sometimes my mouse cursor moves on its own. Am I being hacked?

• Cursor moves on its own

  Periodically, my cursor moves on its own and has been a problem for a few weeks now.

  Initially, he started with the built-in cursor not only movement erratic but also stuck in place on the right side to her screen/only up and down. To try to solve this problem, I started using a USB mouse to see that the problem persisted except that I've been able to move the cursor on the screen even though it move independently (by clicking on the icons and other, however, continued to be difficult).

  It feels like this question started out not the case.

  Here's what I tried to solve the problem (takes the chips of another user and added on):

  Change of mouse did not help (the problem persisted with USB mouse and wireless with new batteries in wireless)

  * The mouse software update did not help

  * Move the mouse or its sender to another USB port wireless did not help

  * Restore the computer to a restore point of verified (2 weeks ago) before the problems started never did not help

  * Reset did not help

  * Turn off an extended display and performing a single monitor (or the other) did not help

  Pointing device settings change of rather fast for its slow response seems to have it actually move slightly slower, but it has not solved the problem and the rest largely unusable a lot of the time.

  * To control the cursor in safe mode (works fine)

  * Done a virus scan (computer is clean)

  * Made a clean boot

  * Ran troubleshoot on built-in cursor and mouse USB (or came with all the problems)

  * Check properties on devices and the results say that the two are "works properly."

  * Uninstalled and reinstalled the program for the device

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

• Screen is scrolling down repeatedly and the cursor moves on its own.

  The cursor is rolling along of type I.m

  You do not give much information about what is really happening, but the first two points to check are the mouse and the keyboard, before looking for other hardware or software problems.

  If you have another mouse and keyboard available, you can try reverse the two and restart the computer to see if the problem persists.  If not a little more information would be needed before I could give advice on the best way to solve the problem.

  You're talking about the screen, scroll down and the cursor moving without the mouse - these are two separate actions.

  He is not anywhere on the screen do scroll down unless you have a running program - this scrolling happens with all programs that could scroll, or simply with a certain program?

  The cursor moves randomly or according to a specific orientation?  The cursor move around all the time or only in certain programs?

  These problems occur all the time, or only when you do something, like click with the mouse or use the scroll wheel?

• Portege Z series - the mouse cursor moves its own

  When I start my series Portege Z the cursor of the mouse moves by its own. Alfer several minutes (less than an hour) it stops and it works properly.
  For your information on the laptop, the Antivirus is installed and updated: AVIRA and Spybot

  What I tried to solve the problem:
  (1) I downloaded and installed the latest version of the pointer ALPS driver device that even so the same version was already installed. No result, same behavior
  (2) I tried with an external USB mouse, disable touchpad/pointing stick. No result, same behavior

  Suggestions, please?
  Thanks in advance

  Maybe you can try to start with a Live CD/USB. If this problem occurs also with the OS Live the question is related to laptop. If not, it s a Windows problem and perhaps a recovery would solve the problem.

• Computer notebook Synaptics trackad pointer moves on its own-Looking for solution

  I recently bought a new laptop Hp M6 - N010dx, and the trackpad Envy Touchsmart is already in place.
  I installed the latest drivers for my pc, upgrade to 8.1 windows and twisted the sensitivity of the mouse, but I always have problems.

  Sometimes the pointer will become difficult to move on the screen and then will move its own. Again, to move its own, as in, I'm not in contact with the laptop at all. It's very frustrating.
  I can temporarily fix the problem or reboot my laptop or by writ put to sleep and then wake up again. However, I am looking for a permanent solution.

  Any ideas?

  I decided to return the laptop to bestbuy. I found that many users have had this same problem with the same model laptop and no "solution" offered actually work (I even tried myself without result). It's really a shame because I liked this laptop apart from faulty equipment... I am considering getting the x 360, but he mixed comments as well.
  This may end up being my last HP laptop that really, really bothers me because they are beautiful and affordable pcs

  It's a laptop? If so, you are probably accidentally brushing your
  the hand against the touchpad while typing.

• The mouse cursor moves randomly while typing.

  Hi guys, I was typing in mandarin especially when I use windows live messenger and have no problems with him. Lately about 2 days back, this problem started.  The problem that I am facing is that at random times when I place my mouse to a position where I want to type something, in the races of cursor. By example, if I want to type something in one of my windows live contacts messenger chat box, the cursor blinking indicating the type runs. Then a little box will appear on any where right above the task bar and I start typing in this little box. Next to the box, there will be an arrow which I can click and he said: "complete the chain. I suspect that this must be my language setting I messed up with and have no idea how do to reverse the trend back to normal. Someone has an idea how to fix it?

  Thank you. Any help will be much appreciated.

  The link below shows the small box that appears just above the taskbar

  Hello

  If it is a laptop, please set the sensitivity of the mouse.  This could be the cause of this problem.  In addition, I would consider doing a restore of the system at a time and one hour before this problem occurring.

  -Create an another user account and check if you still experience this issue.

  -Test in Safe Mode

  -SFC / Scannow

  I hope that this information is beneficial.

• The mouse cursor moves automatically

  Today, I installed the patches to update for the affected Windows 7 Pro 64-bit machine.  Shortly after, I installed the printer driver for an HP laser printer. To the arrival of this, the cursor started jumping around on the screen and click right windows to open randomly place.  It was impossible to do anything with the mouse, because the jump was so rapid.  I tried another mouse, but the fault remained, and he was always there, even if there is no mouse.  I had to use the power button to turn off the machine.  Then I restarted in safe mode, and stopped jumping.  I drove back to three different, although restore points before sentencing, but as soon as I restarted in normal mode, the jump began.  I did a selective startup with msconfig, but the problem was still there. I did a check for complete virus with the CEP. Then I stopped for the day.  Tomorrow I intend to start by booting from a repair disk, and if that doesn't work I don't know what to do next.  Do you have any suggestions?

  Hello Mary,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

• Cursor skips on its own when typing text

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 Portable (five years) and you are using Windows Vista. While typing of text, particularly in Windows Mail (my email software), the cursor jumps all the time at different locations on the page. It became boring. My computer store says it's because I accidentally hit the touch pad, but this isn't the case. Would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

  Hello

  Does this happen with the application, or is it limited only to Windows Live mail?

  Method 1: I suggest to download and install the driver for the touchpad from the link below and check if it solves the problem:

  Method 2: You can also put the computer to boot and check if the problem persists:

• The mouse cursor moves to the middle of the screen

  Original title: Windows 8, teleported slider on the sides of the screen.

  Yesterday, I got a new Lenovo Thinkpad notebook, and it runs Windows 8.

  I didn't do anything with the laptop yet, but whenever my cursor reaches any side of the screen, the cursor of teleports in the middle of the screen. It is extremely annoying and makes it almost impossible to close applications. I asked around, and this is not expected behavior.
  Is there any solution for this?

  Hi Jargonian,

  Go Control Panel, programs and features, and see if the Lenovo AutoScroll feature is installed.  It's a Lenovo quietly installed tool that enables this behavior.  Uninstall the program.
  You can reinstall it later if you miss the feature by running the shortcut key configuration.
  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad S230U twist and remove the program fixed the inconvenience as well as other issues of frustrating navigation in both IE and Chrome.
  I hope this helps!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U500, less than a year and I have real problems with mouse cursor move where he wants, when he wants, even when my hands are away from the laptop. I ran every virus/trojan/software malware scan and there is no problem. Tapping is disabled and sensity etc. levels are low. I use Windows 7 and there is no problems until the last two days (apart from an occasional hour or two the same thing a few months ago.

  Oh and I don't have an external mouse. only the Toshiba integrated one. Any ideas? He made work very difficult.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  try updating the driver for the touchpad:

  To be honest, I do not know what you suggest again that you have already scanned for viruses, disabled tapping, sensity levels. As it is the last hope to reinstall the operating system itself with a recovery disk
