Normally cautious about what i download and with good anti virus software and additional Malwarebytes Anti-Malware & Hitman Pro I have suddenly inherited a label which shows in the bottom right corner of the desktop, quite sizeable and does not respond to mouse clicks and remains static on the desktop. The label says

 

Fix common PC problems

Reduce problems with your printer, scanner,

sound or network connection

 

I have tried all my anti malware scans and even Microsoft Malicious removal tool but they do not find it. (Windows 7 Home)

 

Has anyone suggestions please to get rid of this unwanted nuisance - thank you

Hi first I will need to take a look see

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
  • Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Select additions at the bottom
  • Press Scan button.

  • It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
  • Please attach both logs generated.

I appreciate your response but i responded to the advice given by RobDood (who had a similar message) to uninstall AVG and the message actually disappeared half way through the uninstallation.  So leaving little doubt as to its origin.   I have since restored AVG and the message is absent.   Had this not worked I would of course have followed through with your own request for information.  Thank you.
