Mouse pointer getting "caught", freezing every few seconds?

As of recently, my mouse has begun freezing up for a moment every two or three seconds, and its getting quite frustrating and makes gaming difficult. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mouse in device manager, and updating the driver to no avail. I originally thought it may be a hardware issue with the mouse, but booting the PC up in safe mode, the problem disappears, which tells me its software. Any ideas / suggestions?
