    When I move my mouse from side to side it changes pages on the web.  I am moving the mouse within the web page, not clicking either button. How do I get it to stop?

    HP desktop with Logitech cordless mouse.

    All websites

    IE 9.0.8112

    Started happening after latest IE upgrade

    Rapid mouse movement causes web page to change - perhaps you've implemented "Opera" style mouse gestures?

    I can't find anything under favorites to turn it off.

    Mystery solved!  The Logitech mouse has two very narrow buttons on the left side.  I mouse left-handed so I never saw the buttons.  When I moved the mouse rapidly, sometimes I hit the buttons.  I turned them off with the Logitech control panel and life is good.
