These green boxes with the white check mark and the icon my desktop of firefox has the check marks also nothing else on the computer has them.???

When I search for solutions, I find several references to the backup feature of Norton 360. There also were references to MozyHome and McAfee.

Hello I want to thank everyone for the information I had to uninstall Nortons in order to get the green boxes removed. Thanks once more problem fixed.
