if the mouse detects movement, the computer wakes up.

Wireless mice cannot get viruses as they do not run any software.

See I was right I told my friend that that mouse can’t get a virus

no virus on the mouse. what needs to happen is in power options she need to turn the wake on mouse input off

Ok so the mouse doesn’t have a power button at all it’s turns off automatically when not used after some time

Um, why is the teacher trying to fiddle with your device while you're not there...?

 

Nothing is wrong with the mouse or the computer. 

That's an F in the profile pic
