Description

I am not quite sure what it is, but I think the reason is my kaspersky.
When Kaspersky (and probably any other anti virus) scans around on my PC and reaches keybase files, sometimes the contact preview opens.
Would it be possible to maybe add a setting to disable the automatic display of that window when you open a shared folder with somebody?
If you don't get what I'm talking about, this is the window that would open: https://puu.sh/tTB3R/167db6c4f0.png

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior while Kaspersky scans Keybase files and a shared folder is open. Identify which client event causes the contact preview window to appear, then determine how a disable setting would affect it. Done means the window no longer opens automatically when that setting is disabled.
