My mouse seems to be automatically right-clicking every few seconds, and sometimes constantly. My cursor will abruptly become an hourglass for a moment every once in a while, as well. It happens in spurts, as in it hasn't happened for about 10 minutes, but the preceding 20 before that it was happening constantly.
I suspect that my machine is infected with malware of some sort, so I've tried installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it presents the following error upon installation failure:
My questions are:
- How can I solve the MSE installation issue and run a scan?
- Are there any indications that malware isn't actually my issue?
- Is MSE my best way to go about solving my issue, assuming that malware actually is the problem?
Many thanks!
I edited the picture in for you, have you tried restarting and installing again? – Baarn – 2012-09-02T07:46:00.993
1If you Google
mse 0x80070643
you get plenty of results, some forum posts with solutions. Perhaps try these? – ta.speot.is – 2012-09-02T08:18:58.443Yes, I did try that, but it produces the same result. I'm now trying out the safety scanner, which is in the process of downloading. – Jim – 2012-09-03T03:40:07.997
