Hi! Is anyone else getting a FReeRepublic Pop Up, with a speaker, asking to take a survey for FR?

I will not click on it, nor click any options, as it is one of those pop ups that won’t shut down, no matter what you click. Could it be a virus - or rather, is it something that FR is doing now?

(The last one was when I clicked a link on the Forum for “The Ten most High Maintenance Dogs”....)

I have to shut down my computer to get the link to close.

It is in your computer...not on FR, as I have not seen it on i.

I have a Mac, so it may be a PC kind of virus. I used to get those all the time on my PC. They are VERY HARD to get rid of! Maybe one of our resident geniuses here on FR can advise you.

I used to get those pop ups on my old computer but not from Free Republic....didn’t know who they were from but they would ask “are you sure you want to leave this page?” and when you’d click “leave page”, it would do it all over. I would have to close down the computer to get rid of it. And it would happen again and again. I haven’t had it any since I got rid of that computer. Hope you’d gotten rid of it by this time of day!!
