my dekstop has been replaced by this warning thing that reads something along
the lines of "wanring! you're in danger.....". i found where the image is
located in my computer and when i delete this image, my desktop turns grey
and flashes from grey to white continuosly.

i tried getting rid of it but it doesnt seem to be working.

is there a possible solution of getting rid of it without having to reformat
my computer? if not, if i do reformat, would there still be traces of this
ad/spyware or virus??

any advice =/ ? please help.
