Floating Pop-Up

[mikey4444]

I am having trouble with a floating pop-up, that wants me to complete a survey and win a new iphone 5. I have "Malwarebytes Anti-malware" but it hasn't discovered it when I do a scan. I have updated this program today.

This pop-up is very annoying as it sometimes "floats" over a dialogue box where I am trying to input some text. If I am not careful, I enter the pop-up without realising it.

I also have Kaspersky, and I only use Chrome nowadays, not IE.

Not sure if this Google Chrome Add-on for stopping Pop-Ups will help but it looks interesting!

As you using chrome download Adblock its an excellent little free programme that works very well.

Ive had this problem on FireFox, it seemed to piggy-back itself on the back of an add-on, I systematically deactivated one at a time starting from the latest at the bottom, which it was).

I have done another scan with Malwarebytes and it seems to have stopped.
But it might come back, so I had best be watchful I suppose.
