It happens so fast I cannot do anything with it or even read what it says. I'm running Lion.It appears to be the box that tells you that you need to authenticate to perform a certain action (has a yellow exclamation triangle). It's not the box that prompts for an Admin username/password. It gives you two options: "authenticate" & "cancel." On this particular mac I use a standard login/user & have a separate login dedicated to being the Administrator. When I do need to authenticate something I type in the Admin name & password. I'm not sure if the Admin/Username us submitted automatically after the first disappears. I have not seen the Authenticate box (that prompts for a password) appear afterwards.Any idea what could be causing this? It's very annoying & I'm worried it could be some form of malwareI download a lot of Apps & stuff but am very cautious about what I install or allow to authenticate. I stay away from torrents (with an exception or two).I'd like to figure out & fix what's causing this ASAP. It takes me out of fullscreen Netflix & is just so annoying.any ideas?  [Note: I re-installed os x in July. I'm not sure when this started; It's been happening for awhile.</blockquote>

Verification: How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
