You might be wearing something, that is trying to move your Avatar. Look in your Inventory to see what you are wearing.

Check in your Preferences, for Move & View.

You may have mouse controls set to an Action when clicking.

DoubleClickAutoPilot is a viewer feafure enabled by default (you can access it in the advanced menu > debug settings). 

When it is set it to TRUE, then anywhere you double-click (with the left mouse button) inworld, you'll automatically walk, run, or fly towards. The autopilot is kind of flakey, so don't be surprised if this doesn't always work and you get an "Autopilot canceled" message.

If you want to disable this, go to debug setting and set it to FALSE.

I would add to Valerie's answer....I turn the autopilot off and never use it.  If anything is between you and your destination point, you will bump into it and just keep mindlessly trying to walk through it.

A much more useful feature is the double click teleport.  Double click on a spot and *whoosh* you are there, regardless of intervening obstacles.

Thank you for the help. I had the same problem with the autopilot and now I solved it.

The autopilot message apeared after I loaded a new viewer and it apeared only when I tried to move.

I was just afraid that it could be a virus.
