Q: Screen periodically flashes

Every so often my screen will flash as if it is taking a picture. This is weird and I need an explanation. I cannot say that I am performing one specific activity on the keyboard when this happens. Any suggestions or what other info do you need?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

    Hey...  Some spyware cause a flash on the screen to take a photo of the person who is using the computer at that time.If you have installed one will take a picture every so often ...timed when time passes between the event and the event and see that it is always the same amount of time. I recommend you restore your computer to its factory: CMD + R when you start.
