Check of Ctrl or Shift is'nt hanging on your keyboard by pressing _all_ Ctrl and Shift keys once.

Hello - just a thought. Can you try a different keyboard? Perhaps a key is stuck, such as Shift or Ctrl. I would not think it has anything to do with the mouse - but you can always try replacing that too, just to be certain.<br />
Good luck!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am getting the following Desktop behavior - Has anyone else seen this:<br />
Where I would left click on a desktop ICON and the whole set of all icons or a partial set of all icons become highlighted. Normal behavior is that only the target icon should become highlighted.<br />
<br />
I would greatly appreciate if someone could explain why this may be happening. I have seen the Explorer program fail and re run it &nbsp;but what I do not understand is why I should be experiencing this.<br />
I have ZoneAlarm running and &nbsp;the result seems unexpected to see this behavior. I download very few programs I do not know the source is so its highly unlikely this is a virus but just in case can anyone tell me why this may be happening. Its just a symtom. &nbsp;I will check the viras data bank for similar behavior just to be sure its not a virus or worm or trojan.

What may be happening that would cause  left click to select multiple desktop icons rather than

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
