I don't know if this problem is caused by a virus or not. One day this image just popped up on my desk top and i can't get rid of it even if I changed the wall paper it shows on the wall paper. It actually looks like a name of the vendor that I associated with a few weeks ago (huge fonts like 48pt) and it looks exactly like how the company name was shown on the letter head of this company which i received a quote on, as an attachment in a word format.
