I may have downloaded a malicious software. My mouse pointer icon and mouse
pointer wait icon changes on startup to a brushed silver icon about
one-fourth inch square with the number 5 on it. (This started when I opened a
WMP11 radio station.) I can change the pointers back to an arrow in Control
Panel but if I restart the computer the new icon returns just after entering
the user password. Also, if changed to a new user, this strange icon returns.
In every case, it can be corrected in CP Mouse for the on duration but it is
a terrible nuisance.
I do not want to reload the operating system if at all possible. Returning
to earlier system control points does no good in fixing the problem.
