Windows 10: Win 10 on Dell 7280: Virus or Glitch

This morning, upon opening my system, a halo was visible over the task bar volume icon and a partial mouse pointer was positioned at screen bottom.

The pointer was immobile, separate and apart from the pointer controlled by touchpad.

The halo morphed into a rectangle and the volume menu popped up.

At this point, I ran MSFT security quick scan, which produced a negative result.

I then updated TrendMicro Housecall online scanner and disconnected from the web.

A Housecall quick scan produced a negative result.

A Housecall full scan is underway; at > 50% complete there is no positive result.

Both the halo and rectangle have disappeared, but the true pointer hovered above the sound icon and jittered.

The pointer then unfroze spontaneously.

Screenshots are attached; the pointer is not visible in either.

This machine is connected through known networks and has never accessed any questionable site.

Recently, it has been used to work on Wix site builder.

For me, this is new and worrisome territory. Thus far, I've found no explanation for these occurrences.

Please opine as to whether this is a virus or a glitch, and any means by which to resolve this issue.

Thank you.

Hi guys. Hi Nokia. I searched for a nokia
7280 or 7380 since their introduction.
I searched everywhere, on any site,
in all countries (online) but have not found anything.
Recently I found a nokia 7280
but in a not so good condition
with broken wheel and a
fake cover. The phone works ok,
just the click wheel and housing are defective.
I wonder where I can find either a Nokia
7280 or parts for this
model. Nokia, I hope you can help me!
Thank you very much!
