I keep getting this pop-up on my screen and it wants to start downloading "winnfixer 2005" on my computer. What the hell is it? Better yet how do I stop it? So much for Windows and Mcafee's popup blocker.

It is one fucked up piece of spyware/adware. Theres a removal tool that works at getting rid of it, it was made by the same scum that created it.

Being a Yanks fan is as good as buying a beer in my book.
