Started happening today.
Noticed my browser window was flickering every so often.
Pulled out my stopwatch app and timed it - happens every 10 seconds.
Googled to learn the appropriate description of the phenomenon is losing focus or stealing focus.
Some process is stealing focus so much that it pulls me out of an app for a moment.
Typing gets interrupted.
I have gone into my user profile in preferences and emptied all my login items.
Sitting in Activity Monitor I don't see anything that leaps out at me.
I ran a Python script in Terminal designed to look for processes that are grabbing focus.
The only one I can see that was doing something is from Office 2011, a sync agent.
Even after pulling that agent out of its folder to disable it and restarting, the focus continues.
I have scanned for viruses, and found some, but I can't imagine that's it...
Have not paid for the virus app to have the viruses removed.
So... I'm at a loss.
