Funny, I just had this happen today when I tried to fire up Virex on our (dual usb) iMac. Only "cure" was to swap USB ports and then the mouse worked fine, but as soon as I tried Virex again--and it froze the computer and I had to reboot--the mouse was "dead" until, again, I swapped ports. Doesn't seem to kill the USB port itself, but inactivate it somehow. All 3 ports working fine now. I have put Virex use on the back burner until I figure this out. I can Scan, but can't do Snapshot.
