    It doesn't matter if I am online or using wordpad or something else, but the white box pops up constantly as if I had right clicked the mouse. What could the problem be and how can I fix this? Thank you!

    I would still try the virus checks , each program may or may not be up to date .

    Did you try the Error part ?

    What spyfile cleaning do you do ?

    lesabre - he has an excellent point. Some virus infections can disable your onboard AV program so that it appears to work but really doesn't.

    Also the spyware/malware checking. Either spybot or ad-aware or both (links in my sig) are good. Download, update, run ad-aware and then spybot. With spybot, also use the immunize feature to block forever about 550 of the more common pieces of spyware.

    Have you tried using a different mouse? Or taking it apart and cleaning any crud out of it? Just a thought.
