Computer moved on its own

When I booted up my computer, the mouse moved around on its own. Also, it started to very rapidly open the apps I have pinned on my toolbar (I didn't see the mouse click them, so I think the keyboard also malfunctioned)

I pulled the plug, cut internet off my PC and restarted. No issues. I ran AVG and Anti Spyware. They didn't see anything unusual. I let it run for an hour. Nothing. I connected back to the internet and let it run for a few minutes. Nothing.

Was it a one-time malfunction, or is my PC infected? What should I look for? Is there anything more I can do to check?

They're wired.

I'm using my backup laptop to write this while I'm in front of it. Still no issues. Still nothing detected by my antivirus programs.

Looking back at it, I should have removed the mouse and keyboard first before I pulled the power when I saw what it was doing. I have experienced viruses and malfunctions before, but nothing quite like this, so I got spooked. Now, I have no idea if it's a virus or a malfunction.
