It's not the cookie causing the problem tho... all the cookie seems to
do is tell WinFixer (or whatever is linking to it) that you've already
been through the
"install-me-or-die-no-really-you-must-install-but-I-insist" process
once.  Once the cookie is there, the popups don't happen anymore.
remove it, and it runs again.
