Red Exclamation marks (Solved)

Post by Havoc 526 »

Yes, I go into the msh folder of one of my sides, and SUDDENLY, OUT OF THE BLUE, weird, red exclamation marks appeared on every single icon in the folder. I ran a virus scan with McAfee, and nothing popped up. What are they, what do they mean, and how do I get rid of them?

Do you have THIS installed?
According to the 5 minute Google search I just performed; this could be caused by a setting enabled in backup software such as Mozy installed on your machine and apparently a McAfee update includes a backup program as well, check the settings.
