Is it only occurring while you are using Firefox or all the time. Because, it looks like you have changed some settings on your monitor. However you may try this: http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/Dell-LCD-Monitor-Flashing-Padlock-Icon/index.htm

Can you attach a screenshot?

- Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
