iexplore.exe interfering with other software

I'm not sure how to describe this, but I'll try... Every few minutes, no matter what software is running, Windows de-selects it. It's kindof like I hit Alt-Tab, only it doesn't switch to a different program or minimize the current screen (if I'm running anything that fills the screen, such as a game, it will actually minimize the screen), it just acts like I clicked the desktop itself, and I get a cursor. If I click the mouse, I'm back into my program. I've run Spybot, AdAware, Norton, and AVG antivirus, and the deselection still happens. I've even reinstalled Windows with no effect. After looking at the Task Manager every time it happens, I'm seeing that iexplore.exe is running, but there's no explorer window up. Any suggestions?

hello
