I have disabled every file transfer option I can find and this message keeps appearing.
Am I being hacked?
How do I turn it off?
 
Welcome to Android Central! Can you show us a screenshot of that message?
 
I doubt it. It is only up for half a second and then disappears. It has me quite worried. But the text is exactly what I wrote, approximately 10 pt. font and at the top of the screen.
 
Try this -- connect your phone to a PC via USB, then swipe down the notification panel and select the USB notification. What's selected there by default -- File Transfer? If so, try changing it to Charge Only, then disconnect the phone, and see if the message persists.
