WTF Is This?

So when I'm on this forum now all of a sudden I get random words in various posts that show up as underlined, like a hot link. Then when I scroll over the word this stupid popup comes up, anyone know what's up? Is that on my side or do you guys see that too?

This is what I mean, see the word money is underlined as a hotlink:

 

It fuckin underlined in my post too (not just in the picture of Dirtysteve's reply from another thread), you guys see the underline too?

 

Nah man I dont get that at all, what is "text enhance"? sounds like you've picked up a script.

Might be an idea to clear all your cookies =)

 

Thanks Soulcaster, maybe you're right, lemme give that a try

 

Didn't work

 

Yep, and check for little programs you just installed with toolbars and browser "add-on" enabled by default.


Gr,

Firefox "noscript" add-on FTW.

 

Got it, this link helped me here, followed these directions: How To Remove Text Enhance Spam and Malware/Adware Hover Text Links | Bot Crawl

Thanks guys!

 

I was using Chrome for my OP above, but I had been having troubles with Firefox and recently switched to Chrome, ran the ad on you mention and now my Firefox is back to normal. Looks like this stupid enhanced text was the issue the whole time, now both browsers are good

Thanks man!

 

Glad to here it and you're welcome

Anything to help rid the world of spyware/malware. It makes me rage.

 

That's weird, no I don't get that.

 

I had this on my desktop PC, it was some browser add on called VidX or something.

 

It's really Steve's side business

 

Ha! I wouldn't know how to do that if I had to! ...besides, he said "various posts"...

 

I don't see it either.

 

Yeah was just my end I guys, problem is solved. I also hate this sort of stuff...When I see ads like that I look at the company names for the sole purpose of remember never to buy anything from them or deal with them for anything ever.

 

Bloody difficult if it nearly always start with the national hymn courtesy of Grolsch...


Gr,

Gerrit.

 

noticed this recently too. thanks for a fix.

 

Thanks man. I'll have to try it. I've never seen it here and I use chrome, but other sites all the time. I thought it was just their sites. It's bs either way.
