Lately I traced a little white circle popping in the tray and disappearing. Not enough time to see anything but location.
Is it malware?
can I get rid of it?
I didn't notice anything different in the list of processes or anything added to windows or users folder.
Of course I only made superficial check.
I'm in windows 10 pro
Thank you
Its Windows letting you know that the location radio has been accessed. It's normal behaviour. I believe you can disable it if you wanted to.
thanks
really quick answer
I didn't know there was a radio
and I don't know how to neutralize it
Don't confuse the term radio with radio as in FM. The term here just means things that broadcast.
I believe the way to disable it is to go into settings, search "location" and click on location privacy settings. There you can see Location service which can be disabled.
It's worth spending time in the privacy section of settings and disabling things you don't want.
thanks
couldn't find broadcast in settings
but I can live with it
thanks again
found it!
turned it off, but it reappeared
maybe I should restart
anyway I'm not worried due to your explanations
many thanks
problem solved
This may be different then just the Locations setting. It would be in the preferences of the app you opened.The circle with the dot in the notification area of the taskbar (near clock
in the lower right corner of the desktop) indicates an app is using your
location.
