MouseMover

MouseMover is a small software application developed specifically for helping you prevent your computer from launching the screensaver by automatically moving the mouse cursor.

It can be deployed on all Windows versions out there, provided that you have the Java working environment installed on the target machine.

You can take advantage of MouseMover’s portability status and keep it stored on USB flash drives or other portable devices. You may also run it without administrative privileges.

No entries are written to your Windows registry and no configuration files are left behind on the current workstation so you can get rid of it using a simple deletion task. In order to gain access to the tool’s features, you just need to open the executable file.

MouseMover can be found sitting quietly in the system tray without disturbing your activity with popup messages or other types of notifications. The system tray plays an important role because it represents that place from where you can tweak the program’s configuration parameters.

You cannot appeal to a help manual. However, you get an idea about how it works on the fly because its options are highly intuitive. There’s no support for a traditional graphical user interface. All actions are performed via the utility’s tray icon.

The purpose of MouseMover is to mimic user activity by moving the mouse cursor every ten seconds. The process is automatically accomplished. Plus, you are allowed to enable or disable mouse movements from the tray icon’s context menu.

Tests have pointed out that MouseMover carries out a task very quickly and without errors. It is not a resource hog so you do not have to worry that it hampers the overall performance of the computer.

In conclusion, MouseMover comprises a simple package of features for helping you prevent your computer from launching the screensaver or going into standby. On the downside, you are not allowed to manually set a custom time value when mouse movements are performed.
