cmd prompt flashing up while browsing

I have began to notice that now and again during browsing these is a very
brief flash of the cmd prompt screen - almost too quick to notice. I
suppose somebody is going to inform me that this is another sign of a malign
take over at work...

On the other hand, if I run 'netstat -ao' immediately afterwards, I don't
see anything particularly unusual, but then I only have a rudimentary idea
of how to interpret the screen anyway...

Any thoughts?

Hi spamlet,

And what parameters are you running statnet with?

All windows will flash their title bar when executing if they don't have
focus.

Don't see what you are getting at Rob.

-ao, are the parameters of netstat that were used (not 'statnet'), but the
cmd screen flashing up when I didn't call for it would have nothing to do
with this(?). The programme was just run once, not on continuously in the
background, so 'stealing focus' would not be an issue unless it is a further
indication that a cmd programme has been started without my permission.
(But I am rather vague about all this, hence my question.)

Thanks for the reply anyway,

S
