how to block http://mobilewinner.org?

Basically, I have been getting these random pop ups on my safari or anything internet related. It says you are a lucky winner etc.. from the website http://mobilewinner.org. How do I get rid of it? It pops up frequently!!

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

It works!!! It works because now a message with "This site is attempting to open a pop-up window" appears and you can click 'Block' which stops the mobilewinner.org site from appearing.


Thank you!! That has to be the most frustrating pop up I've ever encounterd. No way to stop it, can't back out of it...


THANK YOU

Double click on home button, scroll the bar that pops up for the safari icon...see the little red "minus" symbol? Click on it.


Then, go to settings>Safari...scroll down to where it says "block pop-ups" slide it to OFF. Then, instead of the spam pop up a message that says "This site is attempting to open a pop-up window" will appear. Click cancel.


Now, you'll have to do this sometimes again if you turn off your iphone, or safari crashes or some other reasons. HOWEVER all you will have to do is click the home button twice and then click the "minus" button on the safari icon.
