[dba-Tech] Cursor Moving On Its Own

Are you using a mouse or the touchpad?  If it's a mouse you should try
to clean any dust or other matter out of the lens if it's optical or
open it up and clean out the ball and rollers if it's not. If it's the
touchpad I might try to clean it with some 409 or something. Might be
static too I suppose since we are entering that static season.

Lots of hits on a google search for "Laptop Cursor moves by itself".
Most solutions I looked at suggested a virus or a trojan. So you want
to make sure you are up to date with your protection.

This page seemed to have a possible fix - forcing a recalibration of
the touchpad using the "four finger salute"

Best of luck with it.
