HP Elitebook Clicking on Touchpad Drag with red markers

[elitebookstuff]

Hello,

I have an HP Elitebook that is clicking every time the I use the touchpad to drag the cursor around. If I drag the cursor from point A to point B, Four diagonal red lines surround the cursor and the computer plays back a 'pop' sound to indicate clicking. It does this every time I drag and release the cursor, even if I have not deliberately 'tapped' or clicked the touchpad.

It's really frustrating as it's essentially the equivalent of clicking at random. 

If someone can tell me how to remove this, I would appreciate it.

Thank you.
