About a week ago, something started messing with my mouse on my laptop. Right clicks, left clicks, opening up files, etc. It then got worse. It would open up a web page's source code and making changes within the coding. It messes with the volume while trying to watch a movie, and seems to be click happy. I've installed and run the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program which seemed to help for a couple of days. Well, it's started back up. Any ideas on what I can do? Thank you

Try running combo fix from Bleeping computer and adware remover also run Eset online scanner. Also, check your antivirus software if it is not compromised in any way. (process logs)
If the above fails you have two options that you may want to consider, Restore your computer to an earlier date or Format and reinstall

I would recommend running AVG and Kaspersky (both) on your computer. As ryno stated, the other options would be to restore from an earlier state (which might be risky if there is malware it may have deliberately infected this portion of your computer).
The other option would be to save your personal files to a USB or CD, reinstall your computer, and then re-scan the files on the USB/CD (as they may be infected) before moving them back to your new computer.
After that, make sure you rotate your passwords (don't re-use any passwords from when you machine was compromised), keep one of the free antivirus programs updated, and practice safe browsing habits (don't click on links in emails - always type them into the URL bar, if a pop-up says your computer is infected don't click on/install anything, force-quit your browser, don't ever give out your password, don't install software unless it's from a trusted source and needed, etc...).
Unknown malware is just that malware that has not been discovered yet. These types of attacks are known as zero-day attacks. This means that no signatures exist for such antivirus and antispyware software.

Whether you are a web surfer or a C++ developer, if you use Windows be
cautioned about SONY music CDs. They contain 'viewer' type software that is
actually a trojan horse for a "rootkit". The licence agreement gives no
indication whatsoever that the 'viewer' software contains the implementation
of a nasty near-impossible to remove rootkit software.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
