Remove ‘You could win an iphone!’ pop-up

‘You could win an iphone!‘ – what a chance indeed, isn’t it? We would surely participate in any legal contest for winning such iPhone, provided that it was officially run by Apple Inc., or some of its legal distributors. Yet, this fake lottery of winning an iPhone is often the integral part of many adware programs which are actively distributed among various PCs these days. For example, you can see this message in your browser:

You could win an iphone!
Complete this survey to see which prizes you’re eligible
popularprizes.instal…

Obviously this message you might see in your computer has nothing to do with Apple Inc. What’s even worse is the fact that this message prompts you into sharing a lot of your personal information in a special survey, which you’re prompted to participate in. If you specify any of such personal information in the survey, many adware developers and distributors may send you a lot of massive spam through emails or telephone numbers you’ve submitted in such a survey.

So, when you see ‘You could win an iphone!’ pop-ups in your browser, please ignore them. Do not specify any of your personal information in these subsequent surveys. Just don’t click such pop-ups at all. On the other hand, the fact that you’ve seen them means that your computer is probably infected with some adware program which now presents all kinds of such multiple pop-ups in your computer. In order to fix this problem and get rid of such adware please follow the tutorial below.
