Item Highjacked by Skim Links

I am putting some IPhone cases on my site createadesign.net site, see item/model no. FLBIC1.
Where-ever I have IPhone in my description it is "highjacked" by a Skim Link to another site for Iphone, as you will note in the above example.
On the internet I found a not so good solution to break the name up with an _, but then I lose the attraction of the IPhone name. So while I have done this while finding a solution, it is not a permanent solution.
Any one have a solution or work-around answer Pretty Please help
thanx in advance

Re: Item Highjacked by Skim Links

I thought skim links were something you had to sign up for. They're not something that belongs in your store - you'll never see an ad for Target while wandering down the aisles in Walmart. So just un-signup or turn them all off and that should cure the problem - if I'm understanding it correctly.

If you look at my initial posting you will note the word IPhone is now a blue lin in the Zen-Cart Forums, and shows Shopping link added by Skimwords
