Running XP on my work PC and every so often (1-2 an hour) a dialog box pops up and closes almost instantly. Only today I was ale to catch what it said: "Copying Files". May have said some other stuff, but gone too quick to read.
Interestingly, right after the popup my system resource usage skyrockets according to task manager. And the PC has been very sluggish since this started happening.

Anyone?

it could be a virus or -more probably- a task to monitor/update something in your pc
you should ask your IT department about it
