Surveys - ANNOYING!

For the THIRD time today opening Iceinspace I am instead confronted by a survey page, asking me to rate iceinspace.com.au.

Is this a spamware/hack or is this deliberate? Easy to close, but annoying to see it pop whenever I open the main page (and ONLY IIS - no other site).

EDIT: OK, blame my daughter.... seems she downloaded a kids game and voila! Malwarebytes just found a bunch of non-malware junk!

Disregard

Would you say this:
a. Annoys you
b. Worries you
c. Wastes your time or
d. Distracts you from what you were planning to do

If you had to have these surveys on your site:
Would you:
a. Ignore them
b. Complete them
c. Answer them in a sarcastic way.

Thank you for taking the time to respond !!!

I use Spyhunter as a malware removal. It is not cheap but very effective against some of the most horrid malware add-ons.

There is one particular one I can't remember that re-installs itself if removed. Most annoying.

If there is a decent free version I would consider it.
