Heh
I had this exact problem before.
With a Microsoft Optical Intellimouse
That's what happens when the circuits start to go.
I chucked it and bought a Logitech MX700.
Try swapping your mouse and see if it goes away.
Also if you want to scan your machine with:
a) Ad-Aware
b) Spybot Search and Destroy
c) TDS-3
d) Online AV scanners (http://www.udsl.com/security_links.php)
