    Cursor changes (and remains) a hand while on internet

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720. I've had Norton's Internet Security 2008 running since I got it. Over the past few days though, my cursor has changed to the hand while I'm on the internet. It's quite frustrating because I can't highlight stuff or copy and paste. When I type an email online through bellsouth, I have to tab down to the message box rather than clicking in it. It returns to the arrow when I do everything else on the computer.

    I've updated and ran the scans that Norton offers. I've also downloaded AVG Anti-Spyware and run it. Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on or how I can fix it? Thanks.
