Browsers automatically go back; new windows lose focus

Symptoms:
1. After a few seconds, browsers will return to the previously viewed page.
Happens with IE, Firefox, and AOL's version of IE.
2. Outside of browsers, after opening a new window, focus will return to the
previous window within one or two seconds. For example, clicking Start and
then Control Panel, the Start button's menu will move to the front. Control
Panel will still be open.

I suspected problems with the mouse or keyboard, so I reverted the mouse
driver to a generic one; no difference (it's a Microsoft Optical). Unplugged
the keyboard in case a physical key was stuck (backspace?); no change.

XP Home, with McAfee, Spybot S&D, Spysweeper, AdAware, HiJack This.
