Weird underlined link adverts appearing in posts?

[Puffinsaresmall]

Is it just me or are other people seeing weird underlined parts of posts that if you hover over there are adverts for compensation firms etc?

oooh wierd; can you link to an example thread please?

actually my first post is doing it on this thread, the word compensation is underlined and links to a compensation firm, this is weirding me out!!!!

Not seeing this.

I can't see them either. Puffins I think its something on your computer.

Maybe its a virus? Argh.

I'm not seeing this.

I think you should run a full scan on your antivirus software.

Sounds like some adware has installed itself on your computer. I think most antivirus software should pick it up.

I've noticed this too. Clicked on what I thought was a link and it took me to a 'free credit check' site.

I can't see it either.

no can't see it. oh dear. run a scan? poor you

It's somethink called 'Text Enhance'. I googled to remove it and found that one of its names is BCool, so went into the control panel and uninstalled it. So far, it seems to have worked. (fingers crossed)

Good Lord - Something. And 'Googled how to'.

It's a virus, I had it a while back.

Hi all,

This doesn't sound right at all.

It looks ok from our end but we will ask Tech what he thinks and see if he has any advice.

I had this too. It was driving me crazy. My browser is google chrome. I clicked on the spanner, went into settings, extensions and removed, I think CODEC-C.

It's now gone.

im google chrome too, will try all suggestions thank you

Hi, it sounds like you've, probably inadvertently, downloaded a toolbar or browser extension that does this. This page explains how you can disable extensions in chrome. If it's not obvious which extension is the problem, try googling their names in turn in another window to see what they do. That should show you which one is the problem. Hope this helps.

Thanks tech, appreciate it
