What mouse is it? Does it come with extra software?
And just to be on the safe side... disconnect the PC from the internet and see if it still happens.
has someone stuck something under the mouse to wind you up

Have you tried it yet with the internet disconnected? Just in case it's a rogue remote software locking the mouse.
