What do you mean by: "i can unplug the mouse and it does it."?

Does this happen while you are doing nothing at all? Or is the pointer redirected as you perform an action? As in a "Snap-to" command?

Is this a new problem? Was this mouse working OK before?

Have you downloaded anything recently? Do you check for Viruses/ Spyware?

A couple links with more ideas:

mine sometimes does that, but only for a bit....
is it wireless? if it is, is there more than one wireless mouse in the house?
perhaps spyware or the "snap-to" command that jephree sugested
