Unwanted notification on OSX Mavericks

Hello,

everyday i see this unwanted notification on my Macbook Air updated to OSX Mavericks:

http://i62.tinypic.com/b9j8n7.jpg

(it's a very very broken Italian, like in spam or thereabouts)

I tried to control the list of allowed apps in the notification center and i ran an antivirus, but it didn't find anything and I have no idea of what is producing this notification. Can someone help me find out how to discover its origin and remove it? Thanks! 😉

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Do you have Notifications for Safari activated? Do you see any web page in association with this?

Yes Safari is enabled in the Notification Center, but no one of the notifications (linked to any website) in Safari preferences is activated.

I never installed SafeEraser! Why are all this processes taking place? How can i stop this?

I fixed it myself. I found in ~/Library/Application Support one directory called "Wondershare" containing files with the same symbol of the unwanted notification, I deleted it and everything connected to wondershare. Thanks to the console, otherwise I'd never noticed the name of the responsible process. I don't know how this could be installed without my permission, but I hope to never manage with such crap again.
