What is this program?

Once a day I get as pop up window that only states "ok" and the icon is a green folder that looks like a network style icon.
What is this program? I've tried virus scans and updated the definitions and it finds nothing.
I've took a photo on my phone here

Never seen anything like it. Check your task manager to see what processes you have running when it comes up next.

Here's how to take a screenshot..

Tap 'printscreen' on your keyboard, then paste into paint

Or use 'snipping tool' it's part of Windows.

What does the title of the box say on it?

As above, check Task Manager

Same issue reported by users here.

Posting for reference, but seems browser related to me.

Install any addons/plugins for your browser recently? Anything that added some dodgy toolbar or something of the sort? Check your browser plugin/addon list for rogue or unwanted entries and remove as necessary, and do the same under Add/Remove (Programs and Features).

Aha,

Since it has that green icon, will be easy to find out where it is.

Download this..

Run it and find the process that has the green icon, it will tell you the name of it and where it is on your hard drive.

Take a screenshot of the folder that it's in and try looking at 'properties' and version numbers etc

From the icon it appears to be a network/cloud folder synchronization. It isn't Google Drive, but that's the only one I've had experience with. I'm interested to find out also.
