What to do:

Search for any information about the survey on other computer, in google.
Perhaps try to use task manager and kill the app that shows the survey?
Get an antivirus.
From now on, beware from where you download stuff :P

What NOT to do:
Complete the survey.
Format your PC

I hope this works for you with Windows 8. If not, then you will need to do what gridatttack said.

Another solution would be formatting and switching back to Windows 7. You'd get rid of both the virus and Windows 8. Double win!

Most PC's come with a system restore, so you can go into bios and launch the software to reinstall windows. That is. If you have it.

Think for a moment. If that was the case, he could not have posted here at all :P
Meaning he has access to the internet, so he can use google.
