Browser opening on it's own

[VItani]

I am in need of help, I tried everything I could possibly come up with but I can't make my problem go away :emoji_disappointed:

Not sure when or where but I must have cought an annoying little thing that makes my browser open up randomly with some game sites and such. I do have an antivurs installed but it didn't seem to catch anything, says my PC is clean (and no amout of explaining it's not helps ).

I tried to read up some posts with similar problems but...another strange thing happens when I try to look-up Farbar on my browser - it just crashes. The moment I hit enter my browser is down and I have no idea what is going on?

VLtani, I don't think this is what you are experiencing, but...I felt like I needed to post this somewhere, and this was so strange, maybe it could be part of the issue.

My web browser kept opening, incessantly and repeatedly whenever I was in games or using any software which required an extended press of my mouse button. I didn't make the connection to my mouse until I had re-formatted, re-installed, tried old images, everything under the sun. It was by pure chance, I recognized a connection between holding the left mouse button down for more than a couple of seconds, my browser would open (didn't matter which browser I set as default. It affected all browsers), and any additional press within a couple of seconds would open a new browser window. It was sooo frustrating. Like I said, I re-formatted, re-installed, deleted partitions, ran anti-virus software, looked at browser extensions, searched multiple forums. I could find nothing and nothing worked!

On a whim, I switched out my mouse... it fixed the problem!! I have NEVER experienced anything like this before. The mouse I was using was a CYBERPOWER PC Gaming Mouse. Exactly like the mouse in this review>
