I think you mean "desktop" not "screensaver", but you likely have spyware in your computer. You will have to get a copy of Spybot (or other similar program. To get spybot, go to: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html - then run the spy scan on your computer. You of course may need get someone to download it for you if your internet connection is not working.
If you have problems with your Internet connection, turn off your computer and your modem (unplug it if there is no switch). Make sure all cords/cables are plugged in properly - even unplug them and plug them back in. Leave your modem off for about 30 seconds. Turn your modem back on. Wait until it is ready. Turn your computer back on. If it still does not work, call your Internet Service Provider. They should have tech people that are always on call.

Possible causes:
1) Your internet connection is slow or is not plugged well
2) Your screensaver setting is set to 10 seconds.
Remedy:
1) Subscribe to a fast internet service provider and always make sure the the internet cable is well plugged.
2) Change the setting of your Windows screensaver to higher, maybe 5 or 10 minutes.
