Hello,
I have recently built a new PC and installed Windows 7 home premium on a 120gb Samsung SSD. I have tried the Norton antivirus provided, and Avast free edition. My issue is while in in active window (eg: google chrome) every 30sec or so it will lose focus on that window. Also in full screen applications every ~30 sec it will minimize to the desktop. I ran a process manager program and the program minimzing the application is AvastUI.exe and it was creating a file. Uninstalling the antivirus program fixes this issue, but I would like to have a antivirus program. Any suggestions? Also I ran malware byte antimalware and there were no infected files. Also did a registry cleanup. This is a 100% fresh install of windows 7

Just use Microsoft Security Essentials. It doesn't benchmark as the best, but it's free, and has proven to not break anything except viruses (and occasionally DAZ's loader).

Thank you all for the answers. I thought it was fixed, but after shutting down the PC and restarting this morning the problem has occurred again. It was found that terminating the TWCU.exe process in task manager (for TP-LINK wireless internet) did the trick.
