    I really don't know what to do with my MBP. I'm leaving the country on Saturday and need to get this sorted by then! Basically, my MBP just keeps pressing things, highlighting things, following links all on its own. Just started today.
    I've restarted/updated,changed trackpad settings, nothing works.

    Can't even type any more this much took me 10 minutes! Any ideas?!?

    Reset PRAM. Shut MBP down. When it chimes once, press and hold Apple+Alt+P+R until it chimes twice more.
    Also Check the Apple website for how to reset the PMU/SMC as well if the PRAm reset doesn't work. Give the track pad and keybaord a good clean as well, in case there is something stuck
