Answer 1

It sounds like you have a SMITFRAUD VIRUS.  This virus requires specific steps to remove.  Below is information from Bleeping Computer.

HTH!

======================================...

Smitfraud / Generic Zlob / Quicknavigate / Virtual Maid REMOVAL

From www.BleepingComputer.com

What this program does:

SmitFraud has become a term to mean an infection where fake security alerts appear in your taskbar stating that you are infected. These alerts tend to be accompanied by a rogue anti-spyware program installed on your computer without your consent. Clicking on one of these fake security alerts will either bring you to a home page where you can purchase other fraudulent software or will install automatically, without your permission, one of these software.

Tools Needed for this fix: SmitFraudFix.zip which is available for download at:

Answer 2

if its on your desktop or background and it wont go away no matter what you do, you likely have a virus/spyware in your system wreaking havoc.  

Answer 3

There is a virus and it has taken control of the computer. I had a similar virus which makes the backround saying that and prompts you to download a virus program. Do not click, download, or do anything on the computer. I would suggest finding and using your Windows recovery disc. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A VIRUS PROGRAM OF ANY SORTS! IT WILL CAUSE A SYSTEM FAILURE! Use your recovery disc or risk your drive being destoyed
