A download file that reads:
___

You have chosen to open "gdoodle.pl"
From http://nightshadeinteractive.com

I always hit cancel, cleaned my chache's and it keeps appearing every hour or so.

could it be a spyware? or malware?

See Attachment of the picture. THANKS!!

Safari > Preferences > General
UNcheck "Open "safe" files after downloading

(There's probably an equivalent for Firefox)

I don't get it on Safari. There is a page http://nightshadeinteractive.com/gdoodle.pl but it doesn't even come up for me. My ad-blockers may be killing it.

Opened at home. Running antivirus and firewall. I saw a blank page and the google logo.

I decided to check the link for viruses using a single anti-virus company. Nothing was found. Most likely this script makes a phishing page. No more.

Safari doesn't execute perl scripts. Perl CGI programs are
executed by a web _server_, not a web _browser_.
Perhaps a mistake when writing code page. Hope ...
