In our posts on this forum, there are certain words underlined, not by the poster. If the cursor gets anywhere NEAR that word, it brings up an article, ad or something else that is NOT related at all to MFP. What's up with that?? :huh:

    You've got some sort of an adware/spyware plugin that tries to direct you to ads. Duh...

    I had the same thing happen when I was using Chrome. its adware of some type. You can't just disable it as it keeps coming back up. You are going to have to find it and uninstall it

    Thank you! It's been driving me nuts. Must've happened when my drunken dipstick of a brother was here and wanted to download some stupid games - and TURNED OFF THE FIREWALL!! :mad:

    How do I find out what program the adware's coming from, so I can uninstall it? Thanks again..
