Firefox displays a popup website but then blocks access to it. How can I stop the initial popup from occurring?
The webpage lnksr.com pops up a screen that then attempts to redirect to a spurious survey. I wish to block this web site, and, at the moment, only this web site. None of the tools available within Firefox seem to allow me to do this. As can be seen from the screen shot, it seems to Friefox that is generating the screen call. Thanks for any ideas.

Sorry, forgot to add the screen shot.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
