My TWS controlled by a ghost?

For some reason when I open one of my accounts on TWS, the windows move ever so slightly on their own, and sometimes, minimized windows get re-maximized without my clicking on them and other times it's the scroll menus that move on their own. Might've had this problem for about 2-3 weeks or so (don't open it much since it's a long term account), I think after the particular update we had that caused quite a hoopla on this board. I've no spywares, the computer's just recently been bought (I use my old computer for browsing) and I don't have that problem when I open other accounts. And I've uninstalled/reinstalled the TWS, no change. Could someone from IB figure out what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance.

Lol quite plausible, but I'd think that if a hacker got a hold of my computer, he might be interested in doing something more than minimizing and maximizing my account windows :p .

Try unistalling and reinstalling Sun java.

Doesn't change anything but thanks for the suggestion.

Same for the reboot.

This hax0r must have some kind of uberhax :D .

But back to being serious, I suspect it might have something to do with packet loss or something of that sort.
 
The problem seems to have been fixed after a round of java/tws un/reinstallation + reboot. It is no longer under the influence by the devil/hacker :D. Thanks guys for your help.

Regards and happy trading.
