Scolling and highlighting cells without touching any mouse buttons
 
This has happened before to me, when I move my mouse pointer around the
screen the pointer is highlighting all the cells it touches as a group, it
does not matter if it is 1 cell or 100 cells. I do I unlock the mouse from
doing this?

Have you pressed F8 or Shift+F8? If so, press Esc. Look at your status bar.
F8 gives the status "Extend selection", Shift+F8 gives the status "Add to
selection".

Try hitting F8 to get out of Extended mode.
