Recently whenever I log in to UHH site, I will see another site popped in on the screen for some kind of 'survey'. My computer protection software will inform me it has blocked this 'survey scam' using 'fake account'. After so many time happening, I decide changing my P. W. of my personal profile with UHH, but it doesn't work. My be they had hacked into UHH site are they? Any body has this problem?

Do not have your problem on UHH with my computer. Maybe you have been hacked?

I will try next time up, but most of the time my protection software will block it and won't show. I had seen couple time it showed that was from my own cable TV/ internet/ phone company, and the site of UHH that even offer gift card for my survey that was strange. If my cable company want a survey they can just e-mail me directly, and I don't think the UHH will make a survey like that! Usually, I close it immediately, because I'm afraid they will harm and put "cookie' in my computer. Well if it comes again, I will use "print screen" to make a copy and send it to you. Thank you very much for your concern!

Here came two from this morning, after locking in the UHH site. I try to PM you but failed. I have to go back to this post.

Thank you!

Can you PM me (or post here, but better PM) and select "store original"? I can't see the URL there. That might be helpful in tracking down the source.
