Part 2

Oaky, believing this is some form of malware, I downloaded Spyware Doctor,
and ran this program, but it didn't make any difference. I also ran Norton
Antivirus, and this didn't help either,

Any one else got a suggestion??

Any help appreciated,
Terry

I have had my mouse do that. For (seemingly) no reason whatsoever, the mouse
pointer would steal focus from whatever I was working on,
A little vibration that moved the mouse and poof...I was typing anywhere but
in the form.
Try a different mouse?
