Hi

Every now and then this program starts up, totally on
random.

Then a small white pixel appears in the upper left corner
of the screen. When I put my pointer on it, I get the
diagonal size pointer, but it can't be moved or resized.

I have run an updated Norton 2002, nothing.

Even updated AdAware, Spybot and SpywareBlaster doesn't
help.

Any ideas?
 
Hi,

Your system may have been compromised.
You don't mention having a firewall capable of monitoring outbound traffic.

mshta.exe is neither virus or trojan but part of your OS and can be
exploited. A couple of MS patches have addressed this....Be careful about
where click and which attachments you open.

I would reinstall from scratch.
