Default Programs popping up causing problems

When I'm typing things, and a program tries to access the internet or a virus
scan runs, the window always pops up above everything and it screws things
up. I've once ended up cancelling a virus scan because of it and sometimes
may have denied internet access to a program requesting it for potential
updates simply because I'm typing. How do I make these popup things just
flash on the taskbar and don't interrupt anything? It's very annoying. It
even causes me, during my game development or playing games (like Midtown
Madness 2), to leave the game engine (although it still runs) just because a
program pops up from a scheduled task. I really want to prevent this from
happening as it's getting on my nerves. Without the scheduled tasks, I'll
likely end up forgetting to run updates or a virus scan (as sometimes I end
up going three weeks without it) so I sort of would like scheduled tasks to
happen. Thanks for any help on this issue.
