[BitcoinStriker]

Hey guys,

I signed my first message 1 week ago in Multibit and now ALL payments that I receive, the respective description turns into the message I signed... Anyone can help me out with this?

What do you mean by 'respective description'?

Can you post a screenshot?

Is there a big problem with it? After all, it's just a description. I don't think signing a message will do this and I don't remember any automatic way to change description. This might be bug.

Its not a problem, but it should not be ignored.

Recebido means Received, Enviado means Sent, Descrição means Description.

I think you have set the description of that address to the value you wanted signed (most likely accidentally).
You can change it to whatever you like.

Where? But ALL payments that I receive are like that, even the new ones I receive >.>

Select the receiving address in Multibit and you should see a field called "Label".

Verify the label is blank. You might have mistakenly put a label which is visible on all transactions being done from/to this address.

Indeed it was.

Thanks!

You're welcome.

Label is something only visible to you, inside the wallet. It is a way for the user to remember which address is being used for what.
So you shouldn't be that worried if you mistakenly put a label with any address. No one sees the label on the block chain.
