I spend an hour or 2 each day on zynga.com playing farmville2. Usually about every 15 minutes or so another page just takes over. The address of the page that takes over the browser is usually http://survey.7889832.com/?sov=2766120248&id=XNSX.s1::s2::s3-r33477-t68-&hid=djvftfthltfplh&tov=561396&v=&alertforce=&mov=nr.diet.mini&redid=33477&redid=33477&campaign_id=29&gsid=68&impid=e0ab5d5e-8f09-11e6-b92a-aa1f778d2780&noexpand=1&alert=1&audio=1&pop=1 How do I stop this from happening? Can I block a page or pages from my browser?
