The orange box after 'lifelock', what is it, what does it do? When I click on it the box moves a bit, but still remains there and the email stays there also.

Looks to be part of the title.


I don't see how clicking it would do anything...(?)

As leroydouglass stated, this is harmless. Just delete the email as you would any other meaningless emails.


Now, if you wish to no longer receive emails from this sender, please look at he bottom of the email. There will be an unsubscribe link; it may be hard to find as they want you to stay in concact, but it is there in one form or another. Do unsubscribe.
