Okay so there are many different reasons behind what is happening here but my problem is this; nearly everytime I use my browser it will nearly always continually 'go back' (as in pushing the back button). It's extremely frustrating and sometimes happens at a random time, even while typing. I think it's either

a) a problem with Firefox - however, my mouse also plays up elsewhere
b) mouse problem - my mouse has forward and back buttons on the side, they control my browsers backward and forward. Maybe they're playing up..?
c) virus - I remember being sent a blank email from my friend with an attachment that looked seemingly innocent - he tells me that it was sent to everyone on his contact list 3 weeks after the fact. I'm doubtful of a virus because nothing else it playing up and this has only just surfaced in the last week.

Nothing plays up while gaming though. It's almost time for a format of my C:/ drive but I don't want to go through the hassle of losing all of the stuff I have installed (Program Files) if there is a simple explaination for what is happening.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated 👍
 
Yeah, it sounds like its a mouse problem to me.

That's what you get for eating melted chocolate bars off your mouse...!

So yes - Mouse is my guess too....

OT.. Are you located anywhere near the quake ?....

Melted chocolate bars? I remember spilling coke on it but chocolate bars?

Uhh, I remember seeing something about it on XtraMSN but I never felt it..?
 
I figured that might be a bit of a laugh.

My sister would've felt it. She lives in Christchurch
