I just opened HB on my PC and a survey popped up about HB demographics, is it legitimate?

It asked 4 questions and offered a gift worth $50, didnt seem legitimate to me. I answered the questions but declined the gift.

That's strange. I just opened it in Safari and nothing popped up. As soon as I get to the office I'll try my PC. But no, that is not something we did.

Reading the fine print, it says not affiliated with HB.

Keyboard condom is a worthless after thought. Looks like you already got something.

Lots of gnarly rashes going around. I've worked on a few computers lately that were riddled with icky's in every crevasse....mostly within browsers and redirects similar to what is indicated.

I did enjoy a story about a buddy dropping off his laptop last week saying "I have 2 kids and wife that's always home....I know it's not porn cause I don't have time for that". His browser history shows a different story. A much different, longer, a lot of browsing porn story.

On the bright side, you can still get this type of stuff from non-porn activities. I found another issue last week that was started from a CNET.com download. Completely jacked the browser after downloading a pdf viewer.

Some crap like this piggybacks on other software. Make sure you check (or uncheck) every box when downloading something.

On a serious note, there is a thing going around called Cryptolocker. Its bad stuff. Ransomware is what they're calling it. It encrypts your files then forces you to pay to buy the key to unlock them. Bad thing is this little pos software reaches out in to shares and encrypts them too. Ask me how I know. Rat bastards.
