    on full screen video taskbar pops up and then goes away over and over


    It is extremely annoying.
    It just started doing this again yesterday,
    Specifically I have seen it when using netflix and WMC.
    The task bar will popup, interrupting the video momentarily, stay up for a few seconds, then go away restoring full screen video.
    It will do this every couple minutes forever over and over and over.
    It started doing this yesterday, and I turn on full screen video just now and it is still doing it.

    Computer seems to go weeks without this issue, then the problem happens for a while, then goes away again.

    Yesterday got so bad that after the task bar went away, the restored full screen video refused to start showing a still picture till I changed the channel on WMC.

    I ran combofix and it found an infected copy of userinit.exe in the wow64 directory.
    So maybe that was the problem.
    And I do run Avira.

    Userinit

    So maybe something was running at startup that was bad.

    In a log, it did show NT Authority anonymous logon, log off events every couple of minutes going back 40,000 entries.

    So far the video stream full screen is good.
