Strange behaviour again

But there's the thing: it was a directory with separate directories whose data were merely existing. No scan was active nor was a program opening it nor had data been quarantined (as I've checked it)... I also did not open any file in it whereafter I closed its related program... or perhaps it was a program or process I did not control(?) (which lead me to suspect possibly malicious outside activity.)

The fact that the protecting software was briefly disabled after the data's deletion (which was a slow process) fortifies my suspicion. As if something/someone wanted to enter quickly.

But perhaps I'm missing a point and it is merely what you say it could be or some other reason.

Yes, I initiated a scan which took shortly and the only negative things found were some tracking cookies. Any ideas?

What could be the reason for a mouse cursor suddenly disappearing while moving and reappearing some seconds later? I thought all was well, but it appears it's not. It seems heads must roll after all.... where's my sword again.... I shall provide the people from the lovely computer store with a little visitation to show them my gratitude for their... excellent work. Not that it is necessarily their fault, but someone must pay

First off, I still don't know how it could be the fault of your computer shop people, and secondly, a mouse pointer disappears sometimes, at least when any sort of overlay is present on the screen it can happen. Just yesterday or today I was on some video webpage and while moving the mouse pointer over the page, it diappeared right after leaving a video overlay, well, it reappeared a few pixels further. Not really an issue.if it just disappears on the desktop without you doing anything, then I would be more worried(unless your screensaver starts...).
