What is causing my file icons to change appearance?

Since installing N360 all my std icons particularly for jpeg's and mp3's have changed to include green box with tick over quarter of the icon in Windows explorer.  I don't like it and want my std icons back but cant find what's causing it or how to stop it.  i think its "Insight" doing it.  I am trying to sort out lots of files and this is playing hell wih my eyes as it makes dissimilar icons appear similar.  If anyone could help it would be great as "Nathan" the N360 robot does not compute and reading thru all the manuals doesn't seem to tell me,

Hi Acko

 

What you are seeing is an indication of the backup status of files. Follow the solution in this post to disable the backup icons.

Hi Acko,

 

These are Backup Status Overlay icons.  You can turn them off, if you choose.  See the following for information:
