Quick overview:
You look at your screen for a few seconds and notice that a ghost hand grabs the mouse and moves it by itself? Don't worry - in most cases this occurs after Service Pack 2. However, please close Spyware, worms and co.< completely, as these factors also lead to such horror experiences. To solve the problem, open the Control Panel and double-click on Mouse. Switch to the Pointer options tab and deactivate pointer acceleration. As the mouse now reacts somewhat sluggishly, you should compensate by increasing the speed.
Check mouse settings
Please check the manufacturer's website of your mouse for the latest drivers so that you can solve this problem without the detour with pointer acceleration.
