well first consider it might be just your mouse orientation might be off or bad drives after you have checked all that then ask the question again

Go into your mouse properties menu. Check the click, pointer and orientation speed of your mouse. Also check your PC's processor speed. Also make sure that your mouse is on a stable platform. Do you have a optical or old school (rubber ball) mouse? Is your mouse remote or connected by USB or a serial port?
Check your mouses orientation, your computer's processor speed and your mouse's RAM allocation and speed. Also check to see if some one has remotely connected to your computer.

its most probably the mouse and not the hacking. some optical mouse do that on very rough surfaces that it thinks its being moved.
hackers would not attempt to hack into your computer when they know you're there. when they see some activity going on in the computer they won't make a move. and they mostly hack your computer during the night when you're asleep

Optical, laser or Ball mouse? Wired or Wireless? Make & Model? Did your mouse come with drivers on CD?
Wired or wireless Router or software Firewall? If Wireless router, is WEP or WPA Encryption turned on?
Mouse pad (what colour?) or Not? If not, is your desktop Glass or opaque? If opaque, what colour is it?
The reason I ask is: These questions help us figure out what your problem is. Please re-post and answer all these questions, then maybe we can help.

it is quite possible that your mouse isn't on a level surface. SO, it slides on it's own. Maybe it needs a little cleaning.

It can be caused by interference, like when a cellphone rings.
