Hi All, over the past 2 days I got some odd customers registering and not buying on my website, all the Signups are similar with the common being in the company field "google"
Any ideas ? Is it a google spider or something ?

Most websites that have some kind of Form to signup or send messages, receive these kind of nonsense messages.
There is a good description of why they do it here:

Just delete the entries in your customer list. As far as I know opencart has protection against 'injection' exploits.

Hi, thank you so much for the reply.
I really do hope there is protection against the injection exploit.
I thought the sign up page had a captcha on it, I hope there is one in the extension store
