Question
When surfing, the computer will keep clicking the enter button without me physically doing it, bringing up whatever website the mouse is on at the time.

Answer
Hi Scott,

Have you checked for viruses and/or spyware? Using Internet Explorer, go to:

http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym

Click the GO button, then under Virus Detection, click Start. You might be told that you need to download and install ActiveX Controls for the scan to work, answer Yes.

Write down exactly anything it finds, then go to: http://www.symantec.com/search/  and do a search for what was found. Symantec usually has a removal tool and/or directions for removing manually. Make sure that you follow the instructions for removal, step by step, especially the part regarding disabling System Restore.

I would also suggest installing Spybot Search & Destroy a free program available from:

Check for updates before running Spybot.

Hope this helps!
