make the settings on your montior smaller its a just a big window open over your desktop, drag it over so you can get to the cross in the corner. If that doesnt work go into settings>control panel>display>background> then set to NONE.
That will remove it but the major problem you has is that your computer is infected by spyware and malware. You will need to run some antispyware software. There are loads about but the best I have found at the minute is the one Andy has suggested the microsoft beta software

Giant AntiSpyware is now Microsoft Antispyware. Download SpyBot Search & Destroy which is better.

I got this for free off some pc bloke, tis very good. Although Past couple of times it has struggled to delete stuff as they are in use in the memory or something. Says to restart and then it can get rid of them but it deoesn't. Anyone know why?
