I received an invite from my uncle living in VA. I didn't think much of it then went ahead subscribed to it. Now it's taken over my desktop PC's browsers, i.e. IE, FF and Gmail. Uncle sent an email just now to tell me he didn't send me any Flipora invite. How do I get rid of this annoyance.

"How do I get rid of this annoyance."
Depends on if he is a blood relative or just by marriage.

It
acts like a spyware. It keeps installing its URL as a home page and I can't remove it.

Apparently it takes over your address book and emails spam to people pretending to be from you:

This article warns against clicking any of its links. If that ain't phishing, what is?
Looks like there's a Mac version, too.
