    Just logged out and back in, didn't get anything. Those surveys you linked seem to come from two different sites, look malware-ish? Will move this to Feedback incase something is afoot.

    Mod.

    I'd suspect they're dodgy ads, stick them in this thread here to get them checked:

    I would hazard a guess that a boards.ie survey would also have a site wide announcement to go with it.

    I would both do a virus and malware/spywear scan.

    Probably an adware plug-in/extension on your browser.

    We don't have any surveys of this nature on the site. We also don't do pop ups. As Vexorg has advised, you should performs some scans on your machine for viruses and malware and see what that finds.

    How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site
