my track pad on my macbook pro keeps on moving and unexpectedly freezing my cursor, when I am not even touch my track up. It also triggers the 'right click' menu, and whenever I place my finger onto my trackpad it sometimes just automatically taps a few things and I can't seem to control the cursor. Is this kind of a virus? or a glitch? and is there anyway I can stop this from happening?

This is the standard Apple support article on Trackpad malfunctions:

Sometimes a very through cleaning of the trackpad will resolve response issues.
On occasions the battery, which resides under the trackpad, swells up and is the cause of interference. You should check for this.

If the battery is the problem, should I be getting my laptop checked up on?
If the battery does show signs of swelling, then it is definitely time for a replacement. You can make this determination your self by opening the MBP bottom case. It is best to lift the battery out, but this requires a #0 Triwing driver. If you suspect that the battery may be the cause, have the technicians at the Apple store perform the examination.

jerky trackpad and uncontrollable cursor.
