Is you're machine a laptop? If so, your fingers could be brushing
across the touch pad. If this is the case, lowering the sensitivity
on the touch pad may help.

If you don't have a laptop, you may have a virus or spyware on your
system. Make sure that your definitions are up to date and scan your
system for these.
