It sounds like this may be burned into the front of your monitor. That is what screen savers are designed to protect from. If that is what it is then, Nope. There is not much to do about it.

Yes I have to agree with the above reply. Do you remember having a screen up with that text for an extended period of time??

Modern screens do not have a burn in problem. It seems you have some form of adware in your registry. Try using Spybot or Ad-Aware 6 to clean your registry.
