I need my scroll wheel but sometimes I use it accidentally when holding left click. I need some software that can disable the scroll function only when clicking the left mouse button.

Questions: Make and model mouse? What OS are you using?

That said, try the following:

Not sure of other immediate solution(s) per se.

Warning

If you have been googling you may have found links similar to the following:

https://superuser.com/questions/731414/how-to-disable-scrollwheel

May or may not be a viable solution but overall any registry editing should be avoided.

Just be forewarned accordingly.

wait, did you read my request? I want to disable the scroll wheel ONLY when the left mouse button is pressed down.

Apologies: went off on a bit of tangent there....

Not aware of any software/utilities per se.

You might be able to run some Powershell (or other script) in the background that monitors mouse button presses and then applies the necessary logic.

I did a quick google and Powershell may be viable. The search criteria also found other products and utilities they may likewise provide the required functionality.
