When i have a program or game open windows constantly brings the task bar to the front so the app isn't selected anymore which means when i am playing a game it constantly minimizes it. it is really getting annoying even when i was writing this question i had to re select the application 5 times so i could keep typing.

My system is:
OS: Windows 7 home premium
GPU: AMD 7970 ghz edition
CPU: Intel i5 3570k
HDD:Western Digital WD Green 2TB
SSD: Samsung 840 series 120GB (For the OS)
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4-M
PSU: Corsair VS 550W
RAM:G.Skill Ripjaws Z F3-2133C11D-16GZL (2x8GB) 16GB DDR3

I wasnt having this problem before i re-installed windows 7 on my HDD because the first installation wasnt installed properly.

are you sure your machine is clean from malware and bloatware software. try spybot sd or Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. it appears something is running on the background causing your problem.

Could a malware stay on your computer if you did a 100% clean install of windows because after doing so i still have the same problem

no it can stay after a clean install. BUT are you sure you didn't install anything after the clean install of windows, a speed optimizer maybe or some weird antivirus? check your services and and your booting from "msconfig". disable anything you don't like.
