Hi,
I've got this strange mouse behaviour; every now and then my mouse
pointer starts moving by it self and clicking on random items. There
is no pattern in it's behaviour. (it just happens now and then)
I have scanned my pc for virusses and trojans, but no results.
Dirty balls doth make mice squirm.

Does it do it on a different surface than the one you have it on now?

Perhaps someone else nearby has another MX700 and you're getting
interference. That's the cordless optical mouse, IIRC.

And *then* he tells me, it can't be the batteries? Hey, batteries can be
old the day you buy them.

Ah, Information. A good, too valuable theses days, to give it away, just
so, at no cost.

Radio mouse/keyboard batteries running low?
Hadn't thought of the wireless component aspect, but if your neighbor,
the tweeking CBer, is running his dirty amplifier, it could provoke such
behavior. ;-)
