    Default Desktop Smiley?

    Help!

    I keep getting these stupid adverts on my screen, and when I try to go to a different website, I keep getting this desktop smiley search page, telling me that the file could not be found?

    I've had a look at the desktop smiley webpage, and I have tried to contact them to ask for help, but no reply.
    I haven't installed anything to do with desktop smiley, and I have looked in my programs, but can't find anything to do with desktop smiley, so I can't remove it!

    Anyone have any ideas about how to get rid of this?

    Thanks in advance.

    You have spyware on your computer.

    Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and run a scan and it should sort it out.

    Much appreciated.
