the mouse is moving out of my control. a virus?

Asked by Shockwind

when i am doing almost anything, the mouse takes off and goes wherever it pleases. Firefox said to me it was doing a scan or something like that, and indicated i had viruses . I dont know what to think because i could not tell whether or not it was an ad or not . I did not incite this "scan" by clicking on anything or link on the page.
