  1. How do I get my mouse to stop clicking the left side of my screen?


    My mouse will just randomly start clicking on the very left side of my computer. It'll be in the middle, then suddenly move to the left side and start clicking. I can move it back to where it was originially, but other times, my mouse dissapears, and I can't use it. I've done a full windows scan already and it didn't find any viruses.

    :)
