Hi Rod and Tom, I have been having a nastey software issue with my computer and have been trying for almost a month to resolve it. At first I thought it was a virus but after repeatyedly running Eset Anti virus, SFC, and windows defender in full scan and off line modes, I still had the problem. So, I eventually bit the bullet and reset my computer which is a Toshiba Laptop with win 10. After windows was reinstalled, I discovered that Mcafee antivirus also had been installed. It was making llife very difficult. I remember once before asking MS disability desk to help remove it because it can not be uninstalled using programs and features remove program. You need to use a tool from the Mcafee site. So, tom, if you ever have to remove Mcafee again the name of the tool is Mcprt.exe.
For those of you might be interested, I think the issue with my laptop is that there is some veryt malicious software on it and I am now leading to believe that it might be a rootkit. the problem shows itself by the mouse moving on its own, I.e. movement is not caused by me either with the mouse keys on the keyboard or the touchpad.
