Who has a USB mouse?

Question

I have a Kensington USB mouse and I find that the darn pointer moves all by itself.  The first time it happened my hand was on the mouse so I thought I was moved it, but it happened again when my hand wasn't touching the mouse.

Sometimes the pointer scrolls across the screen (horizontally), but recently it went in a diagnal direction.

Do I have a spyware on my computer or is this normal for USB mice?

Serious replies please.

Any mouse with a cord is subject to moving due to tension in cord !  Someone or something having remote access permissions to your computer  can cause this. If you feel you have spyware , download / intall / n run Adaware personal Edition , GoodLuck

Best Solution I think is arrange any other mouse may be an optical or USB but check whether this problem exists if yes there may be hardware fault or a spyware in ur computer........

I have it once in a while with a normal logitech optical usb mouse. Not much but sometimes it just goes horizontal or up diagonally. Not sure why though.

No you dont have spyware or anything. My mouse does it all the time i guess you just have to put up with it. Getting a new mouse pad may help.

Could be the surface you are using, it may be to reflective, or just the opposite.  I've seen this a number of times.

No that is not normal. Are you using a laptop with a touchpad?  Older laptops are prone to this behavior, tapping the touchpad should fix it.
