    Computer Ghost?!
    This is going to sound really weird but I just got to ask it, has anyone else ot there experienced this? I'm 13 years old and I'm weary often on the computer it's like my only friend because my friends live pretty far away but away from that topic, has anyone else noticed theyr computer acting all weird because the other day I was alone at home because my brother was over at a friend place and my mom was at a party. I was sitting down in my room and watching one og my anime shows as usual and then I got hungry so I put the show on pauce and went up to get a snac and when I got down to my room again the video was playing! And that happened 5 times in a row! And there has has been times when I'm forexsample reeding this story ot watching this show and then suddenly with out tuching a thing I suddenly end up at the thing a was on last or suddenly another video is playing! Earlyer this morning I was on Facebook just looking for something intresting, and then my friend told me to have a look at her profile so I went onto to take a look and weell yeah I was just looking through it and then suddenly without doing a thing I'm suddenly over in my messages? And this happens a lot and I'm not doing a thing, and other times I'm not near my computer mouse cause I'm just watching a video and then suddenly my mouse starts moving around on my screen and I'm not touching my screen and if anyone is asking I don't have any cinds of viruces on my computer, I've already confirmed that! Dose anyone have an explanashin for this, cause if you have I whould really appriciate it if you told me.

    You've got computer software problems... not a haunted computer.

    Trust me... weird things can happen when things go awry. Including what you saw with the mouse. Over the years I've seen many of them... including what you have described.

    Which antivirus/antimalware program are you using? They aren't all the same. Some can miss a lot of very real viruses etc...

    Is it possible, yes... is it probably, no. It would take an awful lot to convince me that a computer is under paranormal control. Electronics and software are so flaky you can almost expect glitches from everything anymore. If something ELSE starts going on in your room, let's talk... but until then, I'd have the computer looked at.

    You are actually using a pretty good program for the anti-virus, but that alone isn't going to do anything about malware. And I bet that's the root of the problem.

    There are some good free ones available. Let me figure out what is a good one to use. My mind is drawing a blank at the moment... was a long busy day and I'm tired.

    I love AVG and use CCleaner on top of that and have rarely had a problem. Strawberry, due to your other post, I am , at this point very open to something being in your home too. But, I would very much like to rule this computer thing out first as a glitch.

    Try this one... the free version.

    Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware, anti-virus and spyware removal download it's a good one.

    Download and install the free version of SuperAntiSpyware, then update it and do a full scan. Approve the removal of all found problems. Then download and install SpywareBlaster, and then update it. Then enable all SpywareBlaster protection. Those two utilities will go a long way toward solving your computer problems!
