survey popup on youtube

Postby Bobtheduck » Mon Nov 12, 2012 4:51 pm

Has anyone else been seeing this?

Is this legit, or some sort of virus / spyware / trojan /etc?

Similar windows have shown up on a few youtube pages. I have adblocker, too, which makes it that much more confusing.

No, I haven't seen that. Did you get your adblocker from a trustful site? It might be spyware that came with the adblocker or something related to the adblocker.
I don't use adblockers so it might not be from Youtube.

Haven't seen it, but I'm not sure if I would because I use NoScript. If you use Firefox, I recommend it.

I would not trust anything on youtube that's not videos. XD;

But I haven't seen this either. It could be a script on youtube paid by some third party, like UC was implying, and if you use Firefox, getting NoScript would be quite helpful. ^_^
