I am trying to use my trackpad as I always have, but my mouse keeps moving around (kind of like it has a mind of it's own). I also find that programs are randomly opening up and it feels like someone else is in control of my computer. Help please!

I recently had the same thing happen. I updated and the next day the track pad started working erractically. Tried all sorts of things, but cleaning it solved my problem.
To fix it, I turned the computer off, used a cleaner for my eyeglasses and made sure I cleaned the trackpad really well. I used a tip of a needle to clean out the edges of the trackpad, as it was dirtier than I thought. Maybe something about the update makes the trackpad more sensitive to dirt. In other threads I read not to use hand lotions before using trackpad and to keep the trackpad as clean as possible.
This completely solved the problem.
I had the same problem. I finally gave up and took it in to the apple store where they replaced the trackpad. Everything is fine now. I had applecare so it was covered, but it would have been a 280 dollar charge had I not had it.
