My mouse is clicking on things when I just hover over them, even though I'm not actually clicking the mouse.

I have an HP laptop computer, with Windows 10, Google Chrome browsers, and a cordless M185 Logitech mouse that uses one AA battery. Please tell me in step-by-step detail what I can do to fix this. I keep having to reboot my computer every 15-30 minutes. I don't know how to "upgrade my drivers" or get rid of a computer virus, which is what I think it is.

Have you tried using a different Mouse? Browser? You gotta narrow it down.

Sounds like the mouse, I'd try moving the receiver to a USB port that's as close as possible where you us the mouse. Install some fresh batteries.
If your PC in on the ground, Next time it freezes...
