Double/single click with mouse button

[Kenyanspeed]

Sometimes when I click with the left mouse button to open a folder or some file, the pc executes as if I double clicked it. I'm tired of this shit and it's annoying. To agitate me even more, when I click one of the window menu files like: tools, bookmarks, history, etc it opens and closes quickly as if I double clicked it (which I do not do).

 

I have no viruses, I recently scanned using NOD32. And I hope I'm not hacked.

 

Any suggestions as to why the mouse clicking is reacting this way? It's never happened before and I've checked the mouse settings to make sure it's not double clicking for a single click.

 

Thanks.

Buy a new mouse. It sounds like the switch on the left button is fucked.

Have you tried rebooting?

Give it three kicks and a light slap. Should sort it.

I have a Razer Copperhead and those aren't cheap!

Yup, rebooted.

Hahahaha holy shit!!!! Surprisingly, it worked!!!! Maybe there was dirt/dust under the button. Everything is mint now. Thanks!

It will have been the delayed effect of a reboot. Dust, my arse.

Ya already tried that. Everything is in great shape now. No more ridiculous double clicks for a single click.
