Can anyone tell me what this blue box is for?

    Recently, all my files icons have a small blue box with >> inside it
    attached to them. Can anyone explain what program is causing this and what
    do they mean? Unfortunately , I can not cut and paste a sample in here.
    Thanks

    It's something to do with Norton software.

    =================================================

    Do you have Norton 360 Anti-Virus installed?

    The blue boxes with the two white chevrons are indicators to show the backup
    status of folders and files if you have this product installed.

    They turn green once they have been backed up successfully.

    If you turn off the automatic backup option in Norton the blue boxes will
    disappear.

    Thank You. Your right it's from Nortons 360. Interestingly, I do have backup
    turned off but didn't know where the icons came from. I was able to look up
    the help file and figure out how to turn them off. Thanks again.
