Ive been getting this problem for a long time, and it makes my cursor move around by itself, sometimes going to the bottom left corner or just down the screen very quickly. I first thought it was a virus, but even when i ran malwarebytes or kaspersky, there is no virus found. I also did a full reformat of my pc and tried changing the mouse, but nothing works. Does anyone know what this could be?

Do you make or model of your mouse? Maybe check for dust under your optical sensor (if it has one).

hey, I tried two different mice for now. The first was a Chinese brand with an optical sensor, like you get in computer games. so am i supposed to throw away my old one and buy a new mouse instead of trying another pair?
