I've been having this problem in Windows 7 64-bit with Photoshop CS3. I will be trying to make a selection with the polygon tool, then at random times in the middle of doing this, I get this little flash from the desktop and the selection is closed before I am finished, which is often painfully annoying when making detailed selections as I have to start again and do it all over.
I check in the Event Viewer in the Security section and I'll see an 'Audit Success' event with 'Microsoft Windows security auditing' as the source when this has happened:
An account was successfully logged on.

These are mostly logon/logoff events and there are some 'Special Logon' events as well.
I've seen some information stating that 'Advapi' is related to malware, while others say it is legit.
If it is legit, is there anything I can do to prevent it from doing this little split-second focus stealing? It is driving me crazy.
