Bizarre Laptop Behavior: The Case of the Moving Mouse

Have you ever experienced an unsettling moment with your technology that left you questioning your surroundings? About twenty minutes ago, I encountered an alarming incident with my laptop that I still can’t shake off.

As I was preparing to drift off to sleep, I noticed something strange: my laptop’s cursor began to move on its own. At first, I thought it might have been my imagination, but the movements were distinctly deliberate. It opened a browser window with incredible precision—two different browsers, in fact—one being Opera GX and the other Microsoft Edge.

Naturally, this unexpected occurrence sent me into a frenzy. I quickly ensured that my Bluetooth was turned off, just in case it was some sort of wireless interference. To my dismay, it was indeed switched off, ruling out any possibility of my wireless mouse being the culprit.

Given the situation, my mind raced with concerns about remote access. I mean, who wouldn’t distress at the thought of someone else controlling their computer without consent? This experience left me questioning what steps I could take to secure my laptop against potential invasions.

So, what’s the best way to handle this? Is it worth reconnecting my laptop to the internet just to install an antivirus program like Malwarebytes? Or are there alternative preventive measures I should consider before reconnecting?
