Word 2002

here is my problem:
I am running Windows XP Pro w/ Microsoft Word 2002
I have one Word window open and inactive for a period of time, about five minutes, and all os a sudden menus start scrolling down, though i am not moving the mouse of touching the keyboard. then another window opens (the document at the top of the Open list under the file menu), the same thing happens, and the next document down opens. Two documents have now oppened spotaneously and the newqest one is just scrolling through menus.
I am running AVG anti-virus.

Thank you for any help you can provide!

Peace,
Alexander

I'd downlaod and run spybot and adaware both and see what comes up, sounds suspicious to me ie why would word do this on its own without something prompting it.
spybot

adaware

heck get hijackthis too
