Vista - Drifting cursor

Vista Ultimate. Brand new HP PC. At times, not touching the mouse, the
cursor will drift all by itself up the screen in a straight diagonal line to
the screen top then move left to finally rest for good at the top left
corner; all that in a slow steady motion and if it passes over a link it
will change into the familiar hand. A slight nudge to the mouse will stop
that moving behavior. I've heard of PC remotely taken over and hapless users
seeing the cursor prancing about on their screens but this doesn't look like
it. Unless the IT shop tech who set up the Vista OEM on my PC installed
something nasty I don't understand what's going on.

You need a better pattern on the pad under the mouse.

Or you could have accumulated fluff/debris under your mouse. Usually happens
to me when I've got fluff on my infra-red light underneath. I use a pair of
tweezers to remove it gently.
