I recently (a few weeks ago) set my Spybot to "Live Protection" and then began noticing that after a few hours all title bars on all windows would flash every other second. Also the pointer icon would show "busy" every other second too. I began trying to identify the issue and first ran full virus scans (which showed nothing) I then looked at killing any running processes that did not look familiar but the problem continued. I could reboot the PC and get relief for a few hours then the problem would start up again. I finally pulled up services and began killing anything running. As soon as I killed the three Spybot services then issue immediately stopped. I rebooted the PC and turned off "live protection" and have not seen the issue reappear. My version is 2.4.40.0.

Has anyone else encountered this?
