Keep getting "online survey" when I try to log in
Online Surveys & pop up ads keep popping up when I log in to my email or visit different sites, this started just last week, is there a virus on my computer to dictate this and how do I block it. I tried blocking history of browsing already.

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
