Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

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.

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.

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.

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.
