How to make the touch pad normal/minimal in Linux Mint?

I have bought a ASUS Vivobook S510U and installed linux Mint. The mouse is behaving abnormally. For example, it simulates the middle/scroll key of the mouse when I click in the middle of the right and left click button. However, this simulation often closes a window. I have accidentally closed many windows so far. Which is problematic. Sometimes, the mouse button randomly pastes different info that I have typed early or which is from another window. Sometimes, it cuts different texts as well for which I have to press ctrl+z again and again. I think the OS as well as the mouse pad is trying to emulate gesture based features. But I want a normal old school touchpad with right/left click, two finger scroll only. I have looked into 'Muse and Touchpad' section of the settings and seen that the click action is set to 'Automatic'. I have changed them to other settings, but they do not seem to ideal to me.
