Hi John,

Thousands of people have the same problem.
I think it's a problem with the switches and the software not totally 
squashing the rebound pulse on release.

This is a problem that isn't confined to computer (mouse or keyboard) use.
This happens in other electrical or electronic circuits as well.
I used to put small capacitors or diodes across the switch contacts 
,dependent on the circuit requirements.

You could try one of the following solutions. If on XP try TweakUI for XP. 
Also mentioned in one of the links. They are much the same.
Program to prevent rapid double clicks?

I have had a similar issue. When I click on an item it will often double
click, this is quite a problem as an accidental double click is not fun, at
first I thought it was a corrupted driver, so I removed the driver for the
Microsoft Intellimouse (IR type) then re-installed it after a restart, same
thing happened. I got a new mouse, and it solved it for a week or two so I
tried a Logitech IR mouse, same results, I tried making verry fast click
settings as well as verry slow... still no help, I just need to learn to
make Long Clicks... I believe I have a bug, but nothing has found it. (I use
Kaspersky Internet security 2011, and Malwarebytes Pro, (paid version)
nothing has been identified...

so if you do find help please post it here...
