Mouse taking me back to previous screen

When I use the roller on my mouse to navigate down a page it goes down a bit then click back to the page a viewed previously.

Why has it started doing this???

    check out the mouse button configuration in control panel, with some mice software it is possible to configure the buttons and wheel to do different functions like click back when browsing the web if you press the mouse wheel button.

    It is a trust cordless mouse.
    I have checked the configuration and it states that rolling the mouse will make it scroll down 3 lines at a time.
