Not sure if its just me, but everytime I use Armorama I keep getting asked to fill in a survey to win an iPhone or iPad..

It's getting on my nerves now and kind of spoiling the daily visit to armorama...

can anything be done to stop these please.....

Paul you are the only person I have heard of with this issue as I have never been asked to do anything when I visit the site, is it possible you have clicked on something that is caussing this issue but I suggest you PM Jim Starkweather who may be able to help.

I have never seen this at Armorama, though it could be spam-ware from somewhere else, as my son had something a while back, that depending what site he went to he would get pop-up advertising.

I did a little looking, and yes that is a virus/spamware. Strange though, it is about two years old. I would ensure you have an up-to-date virus scanner, and all of your OS patches are up to date.

Do a search on Google, there are few remedies for this virus.
