Q: Cursor moves, clicks and scrolls on its own

Hi,

Iam using my Mac Book Pro for 3 years without any single issue, but unfortunately now I am facing a serious issue that my Cursor moves, clicks and scrolls on its own. It did the restart multiple times but no use. Sometimes it's work fine and suddenly the problem comes again.Can anyone who faced this kind of issue please reply to this. I am thinking this would be some virus issue so please suggest.

Thanks

Dinesh

Forget the virus issue.....that is not causing your problem.

Try resetting the PRAM.

If that does not help, take it in for diagnosis.

Bring your MacBook Pro and its power adapter to Apple for evaluation.

Laptop batteries can fail in a manner that causes them to swell, creating pressure on the trackpad from beneath, causing the symptoms you describe. If you suspect that may be the cause have Apple replace the battery.

The following Apple Support document may help:
