I don't allow those other things to install. The survey I was dealing with were legit ones by the owners of the site. It sounds like you had a spam server installed somewhere along the way. Be careful when you install anything. Choose the "custom" install option if you can to avoid addition programs being installed and read the agreements before installing.
