Random selection/movement/execution of any tool involving mouse click.

Question

Hi nice people, hopefully you have a good day before reading my post.
Since there're already several posts about this issue, I'll save some trouble explaining the issue.

and thanks to slothums, here's a nice video for it :http://digitalmighty.com/random/PSD-CS4-Problem.swf .
Back to my case,here's the system info that might be related:
-All drivers updated.
-CS4 and CS5 both updated to newest version, though issue actually happens regardless whether it's CS4 or CS5, newest patch or a bit old.
-Logitech MX518
-Win 7-32bit/I930/R6950/Asus P6TD/Crucial 4G/Dell 2311H
And here's what I tried before, not solving the issue at all.(i.e. all threads above are not containing the solution)
-Update to CS5, degrade to CS4, update to newest patch, roll back to old one.
-Adjust various options in the preferrence like OpenGL drawing and temp file location.
-Reset the preferrence, reset the plugin or even clear all 3rd party plugin,reset the temporary files folder of the system.
-Purchase a new mouse,try with old graphic card which is R4870 and 8800GT,try with only 2G ram, try with smaller monitor.
-Reinstall the creative suit completely with using Adobe Cleaner to clear all the residual info/files/reg of photoshop.
None of them work, and issue persists.
Generally the issue is like someone pulling you mouse while holding the left mouse key or releasing it against you holding it, resulting a tons of unwanted execution (random box, random erasing, messy brush, expanding or reducing your selection area, namely destroying the work).
There's no precise way of reproducing the issue, though the way I test wheter my action works is by crazy moving mouse and clicking, which sometimes will cause random area to be selected even if I only click the mouse(and actually I invert the mouse and make sure that the cursor is not moving at all)
It's affecting all tools with which you need to have some kind of clicking in it, which consists of most my workload. Literally when it happens, it's cancelling whatever I do and I have to waste same amount of time to get rid of those actions. This is driving me nuts really.
Sorry I can't provide with more details though I know it could be rather usefull if I remembered when I for the first time had this issue and what I did around then
Could anyone shed any light on this issue?

Sounds like you've really been through the ringer with this.  I can only imagine your frustration.
Does it only happen ONLY with Photoshop or do you see the same problems with other apps?  I really don't think it's a Photoshop problem, given that you're seeing it in two different versions, and that a lot of others virtually never see the problem.  Adobe would be out of business if everyone was seeing this kind of mouse madness.
You've updated drivers...  Does that include any BIOS updates or driver updates for the motherboard itself?
Have you used a tool like AutoRuns to determine all of what's starting and running on your system?
People with as much trouble as you have often work very long and hard, well beyond a point where they should consider a punt - e.g., wipe the system completely and do a fresh reinstall of the OS, or even go so far as to buy a new computer.  I'd probably take the old one out to a deserted spot and shoot it up pretty good, myself.  Just remember to keep in mind that your time is worth something.  If you spend tens of hours of time trying things, diagnosing things, undoing errors, etc. that's time you could be productive if the problem weren't happening.
