Hello all, I've tried to search past threads for some guidance on my issue but I can't quite determine what the proper nomenclature to describe what's happening.
This morning, I installed some software updates on OSX that required restart. IIRC, it was updates to Safari, HP printer drivers, and Java. I booted over to Windows for a bit and then back to OSX.
Now, regardless of which application I'm in, every 5-7 seconds a momentary alert box pops up and then instantly closes, stealing focus from whatever window I'm in for a fraction of a second, and perhaps eats a single keystroke or an open drop-down menu before the window gets closed.
This reeks of malware to me, since alert windows don't typically close themselves. Please let me know if I should post Activity Monitor screencaps or whatever else might be useful for more info, I simply don't know how to proceed since I've never run across anything like this in 8 years of OSX use.
