I've noticed several threads where people responded, and in their response, a word will be underlined...I click on the word and it opens a new window trying to sell me something. In Ryans thread on Lost Hot Rods is the latest...someone said something about hubcaps for sale , and the word hubcaps is underlined...click on it and it opens a new window on where to find hubcaps...I've noticed this in many threads.
I just looked at the Lost Hot rod thread by Ryan and I don't see what you are talking about. There's nothing underlined or linked too. Sounds like it might be on your end of the computer. I would guess you are infested with spyware.
It reminds me of Wikipedia when they give a definition of something and certain words in the definition are links pertaining to that word...weird...
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and supers***ion, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
What kind of anti virus software are you running? After years of purchasing Norton or McCafree (sp) I finally stumbled upon a totally free system called AVG. It works great and it is free. You can purchace upgrades to it if so inclined. You can download it but you need to uninstall any old antivirus software as they tend to fight each other and make things difficult. You have an infection and need to get it quarantined. It's only going to get worse and screw up your registry.
It's just YOU Larry...the HAMB is TRYING to TELL you something..... Buy....buy....buy.... Or just take a bathroom break... Haha.....
DUDE...I'M FECTED TWO...UHNO. not only does your underlined hub caps for sale pop up so does flatford39's underlined computer. this computer I'm on is about 9 days old, must be i got it from readin your posts!!! THANKS LARRY!!! Looks like its time fer me ta go get a penicilian shot........
Larry - I think your PC is infected with a similar virus that I have. They told me to buy more 32 parts and it would clear up. I keep buying more...but it still hasn't cleared up. I am seeing the same underlined word links as you are on my home PC...but not my work PC...which leads me to believe it is some virus program we've contracted. Neal
3wlarry- That was my post but there is nothing attached to it. Sounds like something you might of picked up surfing ****.
Can you guys try this? Ive had this before and fixed it but I dont recall exactly how. however if I did catch it again this would be my first port of call. it will install as a trial but will work afterwoods for free. http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_trial/ once installed and the datebase updates itself, run the quick scan, and also the memory scan. you can run full scan later. you dont need to uninstall your antivirus software, it wont clash, it just picks up things the others dont. you dont like it you can uninstall it no harm done. if this doesnt work, you can call me names later. but its the best starting point that may save a lot of time.
