other dog Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I noticed today certain words in any post are blue instead of black, regular words like "back", "money", "loan", "truck"- and when you put the cursor on it a link to another website will open- is everybody's like this, or should I do a virus scan right now? Doesn't really bother me, just hadn't been like that until today. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 the word "website" is blue and underlined in my original post. Says "powered by text enhance" when I put the cursor on it and a box opens up with a link to another website...dammit! Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Best greetings, have a nice dayPawełGeez!..Thanks Pawel, "please" is blue and underlined in your post on my end! The box that opens says "answer this one question and win a free I-Pad".I'm not about to open it though!I'm on Internet Explorer now - maybe I should go to Firefox and see if it's the same.

bluebonnet Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 This has happened on my pc after the boss of the house played some video games. I think if you right click on the colored word you should see the name of the program, you might have to open it. then go to your progams and delete it.victor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leversole Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 If you dont already have it, download Malware Bytes Anti_Malware from a reputable website...install, update and run it...though it sounds more like a rogue MS Explorer add-in!

Pawel Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Could be - switching to firefox re-set some options? By why do you insist on IE? I personally moved to Firefox years ago and I like it. Anyhow - good luck cleaning it up, have a nice dayPaweł Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I think your PC has found a spam bot that highlights words or is attempting to copy words you see or type. Sounds like you need a virus protection run on your PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
