Unwanted Surveys
Quite often when I visit a website, I get a screen flash up inviting me to take part in a survey with the promise of a reward for taking part.
These are always in the name of the website I have visited. ( I have had one for Answerbank).
The questions are very simple and when you have completed it, you are offered a choice of 3 rewards, 2 of them are absolutely useless, but the other one is good, but it always says it is not available.
Does anyone else get this, or as I suspect have I got a virus on my computer.

It seems likely that your computer has malware on it that picks up the name of the site that you're visiting and then includes it in the survey form it produces.
