You are right I am using PilotAware but this is a small, heavy red circle directly over my aircraft symbol and it goes away after a few seconds. I wondered if it was loss of GPS signal for a few seconds. It should worry yo. Itt is warning your of a TPX-C equipped aircraft close by. Zoom in and read the vertical separation stated near the red circle. But first and foremost keep your eye outside and look for the 'target'. As it is TPX-C, no bearing information is available. Very useful feature, in particular in countries where most GA traffic is NOT equipped with ADS-B OUT but rather still uses a normal transponder.
