Hello Sakurasanta 86,
I had this same question yesterday from another user. I would delete the above through adw cleaner. My advice do not take surveys. Also look here at the same question https://toolslib.net/forum/viewthread/14338-pups-online-studies-harmless-or-not/

Hello ive started using some online sites for studys the last days - file some stuff and get money/points etc BUT everytime i do a survey on "https://www.meinungsstudie.de/" it loads the sites on a url named "surveymyopinion" So if i run adwcleaner (current version) after doing that i get 4-8 PUP'S which all have entries verifying it is from "surveymyopinion" in some folders.

Whenever you run a scan with AdwCleaner, it downloads the latest database online.
Hello,
Sorry for the late answer.
Glad to know it's now fixed. May be it was only related to gearbest.com, something like a defacement [1]? I can't find anything online about it tho.
Feel free to come back if you see anything weird again.
Regards.
