Default Password Box

I recently opened LW and noticed a red dot in my system tray. When I place my mouse over it, it says that my activity is recorded. When I click on it a dialog box opens up asking for me to: Enter password to access viewer. What is this ? Has the software been comprimised ? Let me know please

Thanks

Sounds like a virus or spyware. Run a virus scan.

I'm not sure at the moment, as the forums have been updated and there are a few things different...Don't enter anything into it, I will get back to you once Admin let's us know...

I like your avatar and Badautumn, if possible, can you post a screen print of this "red dot and dialog box".

Actually I think Poxy is right, you more than likely downloaded a nasty file..
I would run your spyware apps as well as your AV...
