Just to the left of the "open menu" button there is a green target that recently showed up. If I hover over it, I get no info. I have had issues with viruses lately, and don't want to just click it to find out.

Thanks to all who replied. Got it figured out. I recently downloaded Avast virus protection. The icon seems to be related to that.

Disable your ProtoView 3D Viewer in your plug-ins to see if that is what it is. There is evidence that it has an icon like your description.

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

Do you mean the Hello button?
