Hi,
Do you use norton 360? Norton -> Settings -> Backup Settings -> Backup Status Overlays -> OFF -> Apply. After you run your next backup (you can do it manually) the check marks will disappear.
Hope this helps.
this website will tell you what you need to know.
Doesn't seem to work?
I am fed up with these green arrows, I don't have Norton and I have tried clicking refresh and I also uninstalled some Microsoft programme that people suggested and they go then they reappear, I just can't seem to get rid of them.
You may NOT have Norton, but you should check with whomever is your security provider .. This is all in your "Settings" with your Security Software.
