Default Warning! Kohl's gift card & survey

I received an e-mail this morning promising a $25.00 gift card if I completed a survey for Kohl's department store. As I have a Kohl's account, I did not think of a danger in responding to the e-mail. As soon as I clicked on the link, my anti virus program shut the connection down & indicated that it was an attack on my computer thru Facebook.

I had about 5 requests for surveys in one day and it just hit me as strange so I make it a point of not opening them.

I never respond to mail from someone I do not know, especially this type of email, it is so scary anymore....also, watch out what you download too, I.E put an add on called Solid Savings, I can not remove the add on or disable it either, nothing will work, Trend Micro can not even get rid of it....
