toggling scroll mouse switches' command

i have a cheap 2 button mouse [maxxter wireless optical mouse ACT MUS-002] with scroll wheel.
When scroll wheel is pressed it acts like the left mouse button/enter key?
When scrolling in a browser, pressing it adds web pages to my browsers' top row, ultimately bogging my computer processor.
can i disable this function whilst keeping the scroll wheel, even with an on screen toggle icon?
i don't know if the switch signal is unique, or do i cut some wires in the mouse? pls advise.
thx
