i did a search for the "give4free" folder and found nothing, and followed your instructions as you stated .. and it still is doing the same thing...

... its weird cos the mouse still works fine with no hesitations... but when scanning over the bottom task bar, how things usually are highlighted when scannd over, well this doesnt happen and although i can click on desktop items with right and left clicks ... nothing actually opens or does anything..
i got a scan log from 'RemoveIt.Pro' too.. if that helps ??
