I'm pretty sure my computer has a virus of some sort. Every 5-10 minutes or so, my mouse goes out of control and moves haphazardly all over the screen, that "error" sound beeps continuously (it makes kind of a ripping noise), and my browser closes. Sometimes whatever program it is that's being executed opens up Calculator, or starts creating WinRar archives. It also resizes my windows and if I'm using Word, will put up that "Do you want to save before quitting?" exit prompt. It used to do this very occasionally, but now as soon as I reboot, I have this trouble.

My Symantec anti-virus keeps telling me that it detects Spyware.Apropos.C, so I followed the instructions to get rid of that on the Symantec website (search for the file in my registry and clean it out..I found it and I did) but my computer STILL has this trouble and I have no idea what it is.

Any suggestions that you have are very much appreciated, because this is making me insane.
