For the last few weeks the cursor on my gaming PC has changed shape, slowed down and then finally locked up altogether while web browsing. It happens both in Chrome and in IE.

The really weird thing is that it operates normally when using any other programs...games, Windows tools, etc.  :idiot2:

Any advice or ideas? Thanks all.

Memory leak in a buggy program? Maybe another program on the PC is using the same memory space.
Or the cursor is tired following the pr0n.

^Pr0n a definite possibility.

Reload and reinstall browsers maybe?

Will Malware Bytes interfere with other antivirus programs?

I use it in conjunction with Norton and have never had any issues with conflicts.

Cool I have Norton too. Getting Malware Bites now.

OK Malware Bytes found 76 bits of filth and removed them. Not sure if the problem will come back but I can see that my machine is running better already.

Good to hear Gus.  Malware Bytes has saved the day for me numerous times and I swear by it.

You should do frequent scans for the next couple weeks. Some of that crap can be tough to permanently kill.

I've got Norton running but clearly it did not stop it the first time.

You're better off with things like Malwarebytes and Spybot.

Why?

Because Norton is run (and programmed) by folks channeling Derek Smart?
