Windows loses its focus
I was just browsing a thread in General and something strange happened. I was using the arrow keys to move up and down the thread when my window lost its focus. The PC apparently decided to move the focus to some other program. Should I be concerned? Is someone spying on me? Am I just being paranoid? Will the men in the black suits be showing up soon?

What was the program? There are a lot of programs which will (rudely IMO) grab the cursor when they think they've got something important to show you. Probably nothing to worry about, depending on what it was that grabbed it.

I was browsing with Netscape 7.1 and some other program grabbed the focus. Unfortunately I couldn't tell which one becuase it didn't come to the foreground.
I just wasn't sure if there was some spyware that would grab the focus.
