Hello All

This is my first post on this forum. So I would just like to say a quick hello for starters.

The reason I am here is because I am looking for some help and support with an ongoing issue I have on my Dell Studio 1737 Laptop.

I have this strange problem where my Mouse pointer gives me resistance.
What i mean by this is on occasions. When I try move my mouse icon on my screen it will not move properly. It will move a little bit, and feel like it wants to go in a different direction other that where I am trying to push it to.
Or just plain move off in a different direction.

I have had this issue in the past. and I resorted to re-installing My whole OS because of the annoyance it was causing.
But sure enough, not before to long the same issue reappeared.

I Also play World of Warcraft and the same issue happens when I play this.
The problem appears. but then seems to rectify itself. then the issue reappears, so on and so on....

I now think it is some kind of Malware issue.

I have used all sorts of reputable spyware scanners and anti-virus removal
tools. But nothing has ever been found. Apart from cookies.

I am quite safe about my online browsing and I careful about the sites I visit and the programs I download.
Mainly because I bank on my laptop.

I have asked for support in other well known Malware support forums.
and ran all sorts off programs to try to find a culprit. But nothing was found.
They where very helpful though.

I use Norton internet security 2010.
Along with Malwarebytes (free)
I also use Threatfire for added protection.
I have also ran Housecall but nothing was found
The same with Eset Online scan. this too found nothing.

I am 99% sure that is some sort of Malware causing my issue. and I am hoping somebody here can help me. So once and for all I can get to the bottom of why the above is happening.
And put A stop to it.

Can anybody here help ??

Thank's in advance
