How Do I Remove Virus Affecting My Bluetooth Mouse?
I think I may have a virus affecting my bluetooth mouse. What can I do about removing it?

Well run your antivirus program full scan, add Malwarebytes also run a full scan.
First I've heard of a virus that affects only your mouse? Sounds to me more like a bad driver or defective device?
I've used Panda (paid version) before with 0 threats, malware or anything getting through. I currently use only the one provided by Windows and haven't had a problem yet. Well wait; one time I did pick up a piece of Malware when using Windows Defender, but it caught it and stopped what could've turned into a Ransomware attack.
I just remembered that and wanted to be honest, because there is a post by me outlining that incident that caused me to have to reimage my system.
In my overall experience in using antivirus programs, it is best to not have overlapping security (too much) which can cause more instability to the system. Meaning, running more than one antivirus program in one instance.
Usually, Windows will give a heads up when security software conflicts with other security software.

Many choices...
You need a layered approach.
I personally like Norton Security combined with MBAM (on demand only! Do not start with Windows.)
Download Norton Security Free Trial Software | Norton
Malwarebytes for Windows - Antivirus Replacement for PCs | Malwarebytes - after 14 days it stays "free" without some features but that's OK.
You can also use Windows Defender that comes with Windows 10 - try that first and see how it is.
Keep in mind that you need an AV and Firewall - Norton has it and Windows Defender.
If you go for the Norton trial, it will disable Windows Defender. This is normal.
Cheers!
