    Hey there,

    Started up my laptop and the following appeared on screen. Anyone know what it is and if it is something dodgy?

    Thanks

    Is it a dell laptop ? I saw a forum post saying its a part of the backup software on dell machines. If it is malware its fairly poor effort if they are using off the shelf software that alerts you to its presence ;) either way no harm in running malwarebytes and trens micro housecall to make sure there is nothing there.

    It's a dell backup utility. Part of the preloaded craps they put on their machines. Nothing to worry about. Just close using the x.
