Seems like you have some sort of spyware installed and it took over your browser. If you have a Windows OS, download the Malicious software scanner and scan your box.

get a full cracked version of anti-virus, i recommend AVG. scan through clean viruses.
and another anti-trojan, a chinese program, called 360.
My computer would be perfectly safe with those ;)

i don't think it's virus or spyware problem, it's a kind of webpage content locking and i need to complete survey to unlock it

hijack means to take over. Just like I said inmy first post.

At some point somewher you probably installed some active-x addon for your browser, and now it has taken over yours. I had this happen to my boss years ago and it was a b**ch to get rid of.

You need a really good spyware program to find and remove it. Try this one:

If you have a windows OS, try this one:
