Losing Focus
For a few days the program that is active suddenly loses
focus. Boom. Just like that. If I click on it I get it right back. I ran a virus scanner and it said there are no viruses. I do not think that I installed any new resident programs. when I check on the Close Program dialog I do not see anything unfamiliar. Any ideas? thank you. Mordecai |

Losing Focus
install a spyware tracker and check, many running programs do not appear in
task list, especially those trying to hide themselves, the loss of focus infers that something else is taking focus so you may have 'nasties', that do not fit the description virus -- Adaware http://www.lavasoft.de spybot http://security.kolla.de AVG free antivirus http://www.grisoft.com Panda online AntiVirus scan http://www.pandasoftware.com/ActiveScan/ Catalog of removal tools http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/utilities/ Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts file http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm links provided as a courtesy, read all instructions on the pages before use Grateful thanks to the authors/webmasters "Mordecai" wrote in message ... | For a few days the program that is active suddenly loses | focus.
