Question

I have a mac book pro and i seem to lose control over my mouse while I'm surfing the web. Is it a virus? and what do i do?

I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.5 on it. When I'm connected to WIFI I sometimes lose control over my trackpad, even though I may not be surfing the web on safari. Is there a virus on my computer or is there something wrong with my track pad. Ive only had the computer for about 3 months. 😟

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

It's not a virus, and it's also not a hacker unless a friend or relative with access to your machine is playing a prank on you. As to what it is, there are a number of possibilities. See:

My mouse keeps moving around on its own, as if someone is remotely controlling my Mac!
