Hey people, I really need your help! My desktop wallpaper is replaced with a red image of a nuclear hazard symbol and the words "YOUR PRIVACY IS IN DANGER" and asking me to download protection now. I am also getting pop ups with this message:

"Windows has detected an internet attack attempt... Somebody's trying to infect your PC with spyware or harmful viruses. Run full system scan now to protect your PC from Internet attacks, hijacking attempts and spyware! Click here to download spyware remover for total protection."

Can you help me, please?
