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

That is only happening on your computer, because you have some software installed, to do that. Find it, uninstall and your problem should be solved

Nope, no blue link for me.
