Haunted Mouse

[Malibook]

There are times when my mouse cursor just jumps off to another area of my screen.
Sometimes it happens just as I am about to click on something.
A few times it jumped to the X and closed my browser.
One time I was playing poker and I was just about to click the fold button and the next thing I know I was calling a huge all in bet with crap.

Mine does that too. Sometimes it deletes things I have written and closes windows. If it's a laptop, make sure you aren't touching the touch pad by mistake. Otherwise, I also have no idea why it's happening.

check to see if someone has stuck something that looks like a usb memory stick. you can buy these prank thingies that enter random strokes or randomly move the mouse around.
maybe someone stuck one in yours.

if it's an optical mouse, try changing the surface you're running the mouse on. There are special mouse pads you can get for optical mice, that might also help. If your desk has a wood grain pattern on it, it could affect the mouse. This was happening to me and once I started using a new mouse pad, all the problems ended.
