Weird prob-Active processes?

I'm stumped, so I've come here for some help please! I'm working on my MIL's new
Dell PC. She's had it a few weeks, we've loaded some software [mostly games :), Norton
AntiVirus, Earthlink].
Here's what's happening: My active window becomes inactive. This typically happens
while connected to the internet. It's the strangest thing - nothing else appears
to be happening; no pop-ups, no error messages, no other application opens (that
I know of). I might be writing an email, and I've got to move the mouse and click
on the email window to make it active again.
I've checked Task Manager and there are typically 40+ processes running. I don't
know what they all are, but recognize some (like mm_tray, iexplore, msmsgs, etc.).
I ran SpyBot and found a few annoyances, deleted all. Problem still occurs. Norton
is fully updated and running.
Any suggestions? I'm not an expert, but my MIL considers me her tech support.
