    Who or what is this

    I was viewing TFSA this PM and suddenly my machine speeds up and there is a ping like a reminder of an email I click on the task bar and there is a window telling me I won an Ipad

    What is this, has someone hacked TFSA and is piggybacking with ambush tactics, they wouldnt go away until I rebooted the computer.

      TFSA is effectively monitored by Google and Nortons Safesite - and I haven't had any malware warnings...

          I seem to have found the problem?
          I did not quit skype last time I was on and it seems someone trolls the numbers to find who is on line then harrasses them with spammy messages.
