Possible Malware?

Hi,

I have had these kind of messages/notification 1-2 weeks now.

Have anybody else these same? Is it some Sony software or something I have downloaded?

I can't find any details in the software about it.

Here is screenshot:

Most probably that's some app you downloaded, belongs to the cleaners/boosters/managers apps family. And to make sure: reboot into safe mode and it should vanish temporarily (safe mode disables all 3rd party apps).

After some testing i found out that the app causing these notifications was ES File Explorer.

It was some new features that must have come from latest update.

oh yes, ES File Explorer turned into adware some time ago. you might want to try some other file manager apps. Amaze File Manager is a good choice if you want a free, simple app, and if you'll find some missing features, FX File Explorer or Solid Explorer have some more advanced options.
