don't have one. funny ha. but i'm pretty sure it isn't the mouse because as soon as I got the first trojans, the double clicking started. The mouse is pretty old, but everything works fine on it. toggle wheel and right clicking is fine. It's a SONY vaio laser mouse that came with the computer when I bought it a couple of years ago.Do you know someone who has a mouse you could try?not at this time, but I will tomorrow. I'm going to do a virus test and see if anything shows up on avg.Be sure to let us know how those go. I'm curious...does your mouse still act up in Safe Mode? If so, it's most likely the mouse itself and not an infection.I tried the mouse in safe mode and it still double clicks. So it's most likely the mouse.
Well thanks for all the help I really appreciate it. I'll let you guys know what happens with a new mouse.Keep in mind that this method of testing isn't exactly foolproof, but Safe Mode only allows the basic components of the system to run, which means infections are typically dormant. So, when a problem like this still occurs, it leads us to believe the problem is with the hardware. You should clean out the mouse thoroughly, and if that doesn't work, you can purchase a new one for $5 to $25, depending on the kind you WANT.

Also, you should get a firewall for that computer. You're vulnerable without a firewall, so you should look into getting either ZoneAlarm, Kerio Personal Firewall, or Comodo. They're all good free firewalls. Just be sure you only have one installed at a time! Download the firewall of your choice, disconnect from the internet, disable Windows Firewall, and install your new firewall.CBMATT, I just finished scanning with spybot and it seems that I might have some viruses still.

This is what it found:

I've tried REMOVING this many times before, but they just keep coming back every time I scan.Those SOUND more like tracking cookies (is that how Spybot classified them?). If that's the case, you don't have much to worry about. Cookies can be put on your computer in many different ways, so it's common for them to keep reappearing. They're mostly harmless, though. However, you may want to download SpywareBlaster, which will block many popular cookies from getting on your computer. Install that and those files will most likely stop showing up in your scans.ok I'll try that, and thanks again for all the help.well, I tried a different mouse and it didn't double click. So I took mine apart and cleaned it really good. Now it doesn't do it any more. Sometimes it's the simple THINGS. And that's what I prefer because it makes my job a lot easier. Ha. I'm glad to hear you got this problem all sorted out, eman. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

Remember...when you get a chance, you should get one of those firewalls I suggested.As this issue appears to be resolved, I am closing this topic. If you are the original poster and you would like this topic to be re-opened for any reason, PM me or another moderator and it can be arranged.
