    If you got such type of error then immediate go to nearest vendor shop and update latest anti-virus software and anti-spyware. You can also scan the system for finding bugs and after that clean it from the system. Make sure that regularly up-to date your anti virus software. Specially Witty worm is spread on ISS product. ISS is a internet security system which written on security product so whenever that type of logo appear on product then immediate Witty worm infected to it. It is so named because the phrase "(^.^) insert witty message here (^.^)" appears in the worm's payload. So for the prevention you can modify the system registry and INI files in system.
