Question : folder encryption - unlock folder  - how to remove?

A few days ago, I started to get a pop-up box that says,"folder encryption - unlock folder" with a field for the password.  I am unable to get rid of it. Any suggestion?

Answer : folder encryption - unlock folder  - how to remove?

ok i'm finding mixed results out there.  some people say it's some autorun virus, some say it's some junk software you can find and uninstall from add/remove programs (haven't found a common name yet)

however, i did find this video on maxtor's website which looks very close to your window:
http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=200131&NewLang=en

do you have a seagate/maxtor external hard drive?

the window looks a tad bit different, but it might be a version issue... or it could still be a virus trying to look like the real thing.

running malwarebytes never hurts... www.malwarebytes.org

watch the video at the seagate/maxtor site, could it be that?
