Publisher's description of Ghost Mouse
The application allows you to record and automate a sequence of mouse clicks on a Windows PC. To start the recording process, hit Record and start simulating the mouse movements you'd like the application to record. To replay the recorded sequence, hit Play. Hitting Play while recording will result in infinite replay. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

Editor's review of Ghost Mouse

- "Record the sound of mouse clicks"
- Reviewed on: May 13, 2009
- Version reviewed: Ghost Mouse 2
If you know how to use a CD player, you will be a master at using GhostMouse, a tiny program that lets you record and play back a series of mouse movements, including right clicks and drag-and-drop actions. You may, however, ask yourself when or where you could put your recorded clicks to work.
Using GhostMouse's compact, three-button interface, you can record a script to replay a set of actions. Unlike other programs designed to record and replicate user actions, this one is limited to mouse-related tasks. More robust programs will handle typed text and other keyboard actions. Still, the program worked as promised and even had a few settings and other features. You could, for example, call the GhostMouse app from the command line or upon startup and run a saved script. Using one of the two available user options, you could then choose to close GhostMouse after playback (the other setting governs playback speed). One potentially useful feature is the ability to click Play during a recording session, thereby enabling you to create an endless loop of your mouse clicks. To exit the loop, users just have to deliver a Pause command (Ctrl+Alt.), then exit the application.
The original purpose of GhostMouse is a mystery. One downloader describes using it to create a continuous click stream to convince a Web server that a real user is viewing the site. GhostMouse may also fill an esoteric need of remote system administrators. In any case, it seems that an application that records both mouse clicks and keyboard strokes would be more likely to satisfy whatever automation needs you have. If, however, you see a need for what GhostMouse offers, you won't have to pay a thing to use it.

Version: Ghost Mouse 2
Pros: This program will basically replay the clicking sequence that you record. You can autoplay that sequence. Too simple and no limitations.

Version: Ghost Mouse 2
"Works but several Virus scanners pick it up as a Trogan"
Pros: It does what is says.
Cons: Several Virus scanners picked this software up as a Trogan.
Summary: Before you think I'm a novice computer user, I'm not. I did several scans on this software with multiple Anti-Virus scanners that all had up-to-date definition files. The majority of them picked this software up as having a type of Trojan.

Version: Ghost Mouse 2
Pros: i wanted an endless loop, so i recorded a few mouse clicks and hit the PLAY button. ghost mouse just keeps going & going & going....(exactly as i wanted it to do).
Cons: nothing, this free little app works perfectly for my needs.
Summary: it works great for my needs (keeps a website active thinking you're actually still sitting there clicking the mouse).
