Some of my words are underlined and a different colour

Postby notsure » Thu Jun 28, 2007 5:51 am

Words are randomly coloured a different colour and underlined throughout all my charactersl'speech and actions. If I click on the word, it directs me to information about diamonds or products or ebay, which might help IRL, but are definitely a CRB and an annoyance. This just began today. Any ideas?

This message is a perfect example. Can you see the underlined words, or is it just me?

I think it's just you... I don't see anything..

Maybe a new feature of your web browser or something?

Ah, it's definitely your browser. I'm sure you can switch it off in the options.

It's possible you've got some kind of malware or adware installed on your computer. Try any antivirus or antispyware programs.

You need to run some anitvirus and anti malware.
