"The most prevalent rogue security software detected in the second half of 2007 was Win32/Winfixer, with more than five times as many detections as any other single family [of potentially unwanted programs]," said Microsoft's latest Internet Security Threat Report, released on Tuesday.
Winfixer often ends up installed on machines by exploiting vulnerabilities in the operating system or browser. Once on the machine, it displays persistent warnings that the machine is infected, and the user can pay around US$39.95 to fix the machine. It is extremely difficult to remove from a machine once it has been installed. The people who profit from Winfixer have been hard to track down."
End Quote.
Congratulations, you got scammed....

| That FAIL picture is a new one on me - even more epic of one than this one I've posted before:
I wonder if it's the same cargo company?
As for the subject, the dunce cap image in the news item fits to a tee here. I really hope the OP was being sarcastic. -- "The trouble with computers, of course, is that they are very sophisticated idiots." - Doctor Who (from Robot)
