Is this safe? It keeps popping up but after the questions it keeps getting me to select a choice of prizes, looks dodgy to me. thanks

I don't get it and don't fancy clicking on it. Maybe you need to run Malwarebytes or something similar or at least clear your browser cache

[tonyav]

I haven't seen that one before.

[dzug2]

It's yet another by product of the ads. Ignore it.

[Old_Geezer]

What do you mean by popping up ? New window ? Never had that. I'd suspect a PC infection.

[RedGrant]

it's a new window/tab that only comes up when I go into answerbank.

God you've only been here 2 days and you're wrecking the place :-)

[dotty.]

mmmmmmm redgrant as you are new, i would delete your id and try registering again, see if that pop up still appears, i have never heard of such a thing and maybe it is following you around

[craft1948]

Don't be silly dotty.............he can't delete his id.

[dotty.]

why not?

[craft1948]

Because you can't, only the Ed can delete ids.............

[dotty.]

in our profiles where is says 'deactivate account' , pretty much the same thing.

[craft1948]

I don't know if that would allow him to register again using the same email addy................

[dotty.]

lol i'm sure they can conjure up a new one

[RedGrant]

it's not a popup it's a whole new tab, it sort of looks feasable.

[dotty.]

it isn;t a part of ab i don;t think, you've only been here 3 days, what brought you here and did you bring this thing with you?

[RedGrant]

I don't think so, I only see it when I go to AB, and it's pretty harmless, I can just close it so it's not the usual malware. if it was on my PC already then I would see it on other things. I also have Norton etc and I use Firefox, had no problems up to now. Perhaps it is in answerbank itself.

[Maydup]

Its a bug and I'm pretty sure its on you PC or device. Try googling globalvisitors survey and you find people asking the same quesiton as you. Run a malware now.

Seems to affect ipads and firefox users most.

Either way, please don't click on the link folks.

[squarebear]

Yes it's fake. You can put anything in there to get a survey. Here's one (apparantlly from the BBC)
