Post #1
Would someone take a peek at my HJT log and let me know if something looks "funny" for lack of a better term. Perhaps I'm just being paranoid but I can almost swear someone is remotely monitoring my computer and will sometimes even move the cursor while I'm online.

Thanks

Welcome to the forum. I will guess that is an indication you need to update the driver? It could also be a dirty ball if you are using an old style mouse. I would try that first and if that does not work, post here with that information:
http://forums.tomcoyote.org/index.php?showforum=83

You have a little clutter/junk that should be removed, I'll do a little cleaning also. I don't think it will help your issue but you never know.

Move HJT from the Desktop for safety. I prefer C:\HJT\HijackThis.exe, if you need additional instructions use these: http://russelltexas.com/malware/createhjtfolder.htm

Tutorial: http://forums.security-central.us/showthread.php?t=1925
Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/public-beta/ATF-Cleaner.exe
Save it to your Desktop. We will use this later.

Turn off TeaTimer until you are done, it will block the changes:

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

ADW_POP.A

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

No need to post again unless you want to, here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:
