I opologize for continuing this thead but I still have not found the
persistent file that keeps interrupting my Windows but maybe this is it. In
Event Viewer there is a file that is listed frequently called BackWeb
Plug-in-9867844. processlibrary.com states this is a security risk and
should be purged. How might I do this if all the anti-"stuff" doesn't detect
it and eliminate it for me automatically? I don't see an uninstall for this
and is probably imbedded in more than one place.
Thank you all. Anybody.
Have you found the answer Steve?

Guys , re the active window going inactive I have been dealing with
Microsoft research division for over a week now as I have the same problem.
It has bought my pc to a halt, no known viruses, eliminated hardware and
interestingly it doesnt happen in safe mode. Affects all windows and goes
inactive after just 2 seconds, effectively preventing u from typing
anything. This is a nightmare, ne1 else who has resolved this I would be
most grateful to hear from u.
thanks Steve xp sp2, norton antivirus, spybot, Lavasoft all have done
nothing to help trace or prevent

Backweb is a bit of code that gets used for many different purposes. OEMs
will use it as part of their software that checks their websites for
updates. This is a legitimate use of Backweb but it can still be a
troublesome item to have running all of the time. Most folks will disable
the OEM's auto update features to remove it from their startup.

There are some not so legitimate uses for Backweb as well. Usually
anti-spyware programs will catch these instances for you.
