When the title bar turns gray, it means that the window has lost focus. The
window that has focus is the one to which keyboard input or mouse clicks
will be applied. A window loses focus because another window takes the focus
from it. When you click on the title bar, you force the window to regain
focus.

So what other window is stealing the focus? You can't see it because the
virus or spyware writer has placed it beyond the visible area of your
desktop.
