Right Mouse Button Stopped Working

[Guest]

When I downloaded (10 programs) and installed them the right mouse button
stopped working. I tried going to settings, selecting Mouse and manipulting
all the options there with no results. There appears not to be an option for
activating or inactivating the right mouse button. I have a Key Tronic Mouse
using the standard PS2 driver (not USB). Thanks

Some where I saw an article regarding a Trojan that disables right mouse
button. Considering you downloaded 10 programs, if any were share ware, any
thing is possible!

Downloading shareware from a shareware authors website is the last place
you'd find viruses or trojans. Spyware is another issue tho.

Thanks FireWall2!
The programs I downloaded were Windows Automatic Update
Downloads from Microsoft - not shareware.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks Jeff S! Indeed rebooting did solve the problem even though
I still do not know what caused it in the first place. The downloads
I installed were automatic downloads from Microsoft - not share-
ware.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the response Plato!
I recently (1 month, or so) downloaded a spyware application
from Microsoft (I thought(?)) - have to watch that stuff closer.
The mouse button started working when I powered up this AM.
Thanks for the help!
