I recently visited a website and I clicked a link suddenly a new tab appears about a survey. Was that a virus?

You have to disable Pop-Ups. Just click on Customize and control --> Settings

Click on Show advanced settings

Then Privacy --> content settings

Then Pop-ups --> Do not allow

Also go to Customize and control --> Settings --> Extensions, and search for Ad Block, and choose an item from the list.

No it probably was just the website opening a new tab, which although annoying doesn't have to mean you got a virus;)
