I'm not having this problem on some other sites I visit, but if my mouse is hovering here, and at yahoo mail, even for a brief instant, it automatically goes into click mode. Is there some way to stop that, here and at other sites? Did I activiate something, or is this new code some sites use to make you click on ads? This is a new phenomna for me the last couple of days, how do others fix this (or do they?). Thanks.

EDIT: This just automatically posted when I passed a mouse over "post". Quite irritating.

Go to control panel and adjust the settings for your mouse. it is not a site specific issue.

The above poster is probably correct. Malware might also be a factor. I've just spent about five minutes hovering over everything I can find to hover over and got no automatic clicks.

FTR: I'm using Win XP v3 - Chromium browser.

Sounds like you have a stuck mouse button.

ATS isn't auto clicking your mouse, it isn't possible.

Bash your mouse buttons a bit, or perhaps try another mouse.

This happens with Windows 7 a lot. I know a lot of computer ship with that mouse function as default setting. I think it's the stupidest idea they ever implemented.
