...and ever since, I've been getting periodic pop-up windows trying to get me to do a multitude of surveys.

Which is extremely annoying.

Anybody else experience this, or have a fix to stop it from happening?

Oh yeah, also, I now have this thing where certain words on web pages are hyperlinked to advertisements or something...which I also don't appreciate.

If anybody knows how to get rid of these, I'd appreciate learning how.

Thanks in advance.
