Has anyone noticed lately when you type a few key words like weight loss or finding a job it comes up as a link? Its a bit disturbing that when I type something it can come up as a lead in for someones advertisement .

    Sounds like you have some malware on your computer, it's not MyFitnessPal.

    I agree with the other poster.
    It's not happening to me.

    Get and download malwarebytes, update your virus scan, check out adaware and spybot. You have something on your system.

    Might be worth looking into an alternate browser if you're using Internet explorer, firefox is great, chrome is nice, they have add-ons for them that can help reduce the instances of this happening.

    I use Firefox and have some of their add ons and don't have the problems that many others do including this one.

    Firefox FTW!

    Between Firefox, malwarebytes and avast antivirus, I'm super-protected and it hasn't cost me a dime.
