Why am I getting a green box popping up on my android phone that says create a backup copy

The box pops up in the middle of the screen for a few seconds and then disappears on its own (like a subliminal message!). It has happened while I was using 3 different programs. I have not downloaded any new apps recently and there are no apps in my downloaded list I don't recognize. Virus scans say I am fine but something is wrong!

I would love to know the answer to this as well. Has been happening to me this past week / few days. Do you have some type of mp3 downloaded app?

I'm getting the same thing, only my box is purple. I suspected someone hacked my phone and installed a keylogger or something, as other weird things are happening, too. Fast battery drain (I have a turbo, battery usually lasts forever), freezing and hangups.

Aha! Do either of you have the Notes to Do Widget by chance? I think this is the culprit.

It is the Note to do widget! I thought so today and then I changed my widget from green to purple and the back-up box was also purple. Mystery solved.... no virus!

I do have that exact widget! Thanks so much!!
