try doubleclicking in your mcafee software and check your quarantined items. It may have quarantined a 'found virus'. You could delete the file and re-run the scan.

Chances are it's just an advertisement. But if you see it inside your desktop wallpaper, your computer could be infected instead by spywares. I suggest you download something like Ad-Aware and remove the spyware.
