Thanks alot, I thought this was part of the program Irfanview and had been pulling hair out trying to remove them while keeping the critical program for my work.

THANK YOU!!! I have been suffering with the huge intrusive marks and had NO idea where they came from or how to get rid of them. It’s been awful! Now I am happy and stress free and can work with my graphics files easily. THanks!

Thanks so much for sharing this!

I have been trying to help a member on our computer support forum with the same symptoms on his vista pc, but was completely baffled as he was only mentioning picture files with the blue or green overlays.

Obviously he must have only chosen these file types to be backed up with his Norton 360 program.

He had recently upgraded to version 3 of Norton 360 and seen these icons for the first time so perhaps the box is checked by default in that version. ?

Anyway .. thanks again … a good clear article ;-)
