When I got FileGuard a few weeks ago, I experienced a few weird effects:

Superclock flickered constantly (so I removed it).
Menus flickered while functions were selected (e.g. while doing a find
  next in ThinkC) instead of highlighting once, then dehighlighting.
The screen-save option of FileGuard stopped working after a while.

I was starting to get annoyed with FileGuard until I noticed that one of
the other icons at startup was blacked out. It was the InUse CDEV (which
puts up a flickering (aha) icon on the menu bar when the disk is in
use).  When I removed InUse, all the symtoms went away, and I could use
SuperClock again (hurrah).

Has anyone else seen this (or similar problems) with either FileGuard or
InUse? I've started using DiskLight from Norton Utilities instead and it
seems to work just fine.

For completeness - I'm running System 7.0 with Tuneup 1.1.1 on a IIsi.
Other extensions include Disinfectant, Gatekeeper and Gatekeeper Aid
(better paranoid than sorry), Norton FileSaver, Think Back, Auspice (a
calendar program), TrashAlias, PopChar, and Extensions Manager.
