    Hi all

    I was just in one of the comp labs and a message popped up when I opened Internet explorer stating somethin along the lines of , you've just won ul campus competition, enter you're contact info for your prize. I obviously closed it as it sounded like a scam but I was just wondering is this common as it seemed unusual that it's on ul computers?

    Did it pop up in a web browser?
    Did it pop up as a dialogue that said "messenger service" in the top left corner?

    Probably a bit like the "bomb in the room" thing that happened once or twice last year

    No screen shot I'm afraid but I'll be back in there again and will try the same comp again and get one :-)
