It's funny but I quite often get this type of 'you are the millionth visitor, you are a winner etc'. Do you think this will be a co-incidence or perhaps its an advertising, spamming ploy?

LOL - Ed's just told me this is rubbish! Because it didn't say I had won anything and there was no link or anything to do on it I thought it was genuine but he says it's a pop up thing!..

They don't call it the wicked wide web for nothing geezer ! Do not use your real name, do not collect a million smackaroos, do not give out your credit card details, do not post a picture of you up

Did it have a Close button on it? Did you press it? Do you have ActiveX enabled? If so then worry now and check for viruses. In fact, check even if you didn't answer yes. These things are pernicious. (To find out how to block pop-ups, search this forum for the relevant thread. It's quite recent and quite helpful.)
