I'm very relieved. Mystery solved. One of the opt out pages says: "VoiceFive also conducts surveys for third parties, and may drop cookies in support of those survey efforts. One such partner is Google. To opt-out of receiving VoiceFive studies on the Google Network, you can...."

Thank you , timethief. I was afraid my blog was infected with the popup. I will try the steps you outlined in your blog post to get rid of it. What I don't get though is why It comes up both with Firefox and IE (which I use rarely, only for test purposes when Firefox has problems)

Can someone tell me if it is an ad via WordPress--I am in the WordAds program and also have No-Ads upgrade. Or is it my computer or blog infected with malware? I have seen it both on my home computer and at work, and using both IE and Firefox browsers.

The popup is intermittent and goes away after a few seconds so I was unable to make a screen grab. Today I managed to take a photo of it. It says VoiceFive--Your Opinion Counts. It is a photo of a toddler in sunglasses holding up five fingers and a thumbs up
