What is this on my screen that won't go away!?

Hi,

What is this thing in the middle of my screen? It appears on the screen any time I click to begin and never goes away. To me, it appears to be some remnant of a 'Demo' version, but I worked around it and even did my first model with no problems.

I first installed manually to the program files/x86, then uninstalled, reinstalled to a My Programs folder because one of the forum threads said to avoid the protected program files/x86 folder. Still appears. In fact after reinstalling, the program did NOT ask for a serial number...?

I have edited the preferences, BUT am not sure what to look for as I know not how to describe this thingy...

Using Win 7 Ultimate/64 bit.

Thank you.

    Never seen that before. Mine is installed in the default folder in Windows 10 64-bit Pro. My computer has admin rights.

    Never seen it before, and ONLY Hexagon.

    It looks somewhat like the Spotlight tool in zBrush, which is used to display images for use in applying textures, but I have no idea if Hexagon actually has something similar.

    You don't have any weird 3D drawing speed-test overlay enabled for your video card do you?

    Are you using any input hardware besides a standard mouse ... like a gaming device or tablet?

    It looks like the Amazon echo dot top view of the app

    Looks like it's an app called Sonic Radar. It's a program that is used with FPS games that shows ambient sounds from nearby enemies on the radar ... 
    quite useful for shooters. It may have been installed with a recient graphics upgrade or with a new game.

    Ha! I'd remember installing something like that on my computer. Probably a loner computer.

    That's exactly what it is. Key board short-cut toggles it on/off.

    Thank you so much!
