This just happened to me tonight. Received an invitation for an education survey for $2.50. Three pages into being asked questions about whether I'm planning to pursue an MBA, my computer is crippled with a fake Windows Total Security 2011 virus. E-rewards was the only window I had open. I've already contacted them about it, but wanted to post a heads up in case anyone else receives that particular survey.
