Browser launches with mouse movement ... read info please?
This problem started when I switched from McAffee to Norton Internet Security/Virus detection. May or may not be related to this change.
The browser (I use firefox, but it happens to whatever the default browser is) launches with every mouse movement ... a new window, which means very quickly I can have 50-100 browser windows opened, and it is darn difficult to do anything else on the computer!
I have a laptop, and this does NOT happen when using the touchpad, only when using an attached mouse, or my graphics tablet. This is a problem though, as I like to dock my laptop.
I have run numerous spyware, registry checkers, anti-virus, done research online, and everything I can think of, including a complete reformat, which did not solve the problem.
Any experienced suggestions greatly appreciated.

I believe I know your problem, and it's actually a very simple one. Both IE and Firefox will open a new tab if the center button on your mouse is clicked (like right click and then selecting 'open in new tab'). If your wheel button is stuck, guess what - a million tabs will have opened. And since your touch pad doesn't have this center wheel, it won't have the problem.
To correct it, try pressing the center wheel a couple of time and see if that clears it. That's what I have to do if a shift or control key gets stuck that way. If that still fails to work, switch to a different mouse and that should solve it.

This is really new to me.
I cant tell anything unless i see that issue.
Just give a try the following,
Install the IE / Firefox in different location
for ex: instead of %programfiles%/mozilla , use d:\testfirefox\
