Adware?
So, today I received a advertising poping up in my desktop, I was worry about it, so I restored my pc, but it didnt work, this advertment still popped up in my screen. Then I asked my brother, he said to turn off the auto initialization of wallpaper engine and then, when I turned on my pc again, the advertsing didnt appear anymore... Do anyone know if this advertising is something relating wallpaper engine?

The program contains no ads. Which wallpaper did you use exactly?

Web wallpapers are websites, if someone uploads ads inside a website then they should get banned. But I disabled the pop up system of the web browser too so they shouldn't be able to pop up anywhere outside of the wallpaper itself.

That should not be possible. Which wallpaper would that be so that we can check that out?

Apparently you mean this wallpaper:

I have checked out its source code and it's impossible that this wallpaper served an advertisement to you. You should scan your computer for viruses / adware that you may have installed another way.

I have this wallpaper in my playlist for quite some time now and it comes up pretty frequently on my screen and not a single time were there any popups, adware or other stuff.
