    I've had a few instances of my active window randomly switching for seemingly no reason. Maybe it's a win 11 bug, but after it happening 2-3 times in 3 weeks, I figured better to check the logs. The first instance involved Adobe Acrobat opening on its own about 30-60 mins after a restart, which I chalked up to a possible - albeit odd - delay. The 2nd time was today while watching a playback of a stream, but not fullscreen for what it's worth. Suddenly Thunderbird was the active window; I hadn't been typing or anything. Then I got an error with MGTools/HijackThis and when I minimized Adobe Photoshop, it suddenly was not minimized anymore. Here's the error: https://imgur.com/LhmbQyU

    I am not finding any malware in your logs. I would start by removing your temp files ( right click start / run - type: %temp%) and then running task manager and look at what is running when these programs pop up.

    Please post in the software forum for further assistance.

    It is time to make sure you have re-enabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    Now go to the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 or 10 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
