Red Underlined Words

[TOWIE]

Why are these appearing in threads ? When you click on them they appear to take you to some sort of advertising.

[tenrec]

Red underlined words such as AB Editor are just links to what they say.

[tenrec]

Ooh that's wierd. It didn't work. Sorry.

You've probably got some "shopping" add in installed on your browser.

On most browsers you can see what add-ins you have by selecting tools > manage add-ins.... have a look and see if any sound likely.

[TOWIE]

So it sounds like only me can see them then.

Hi TOWIE.

Where do they appear, everywhere on the site, or just like the ones above? There are a few trigger words like this, but they rarely lead to advertising.

I suggest you check you've not installed (by mistake or otherwise) a plugin or possibly malware for your browser which inserts ads into the page.

The red words above are not underlined, so could yours be being hi-lighted by a spellcheck maybe?

[AB Editor]

Could be that I suppose.

I suggest a scan with an updated malwarebytes.

[Hopkirk]

I get them since changing to Chrome.

It's a spellchecker

[ChuckFickens]

Your spell checker takes you to adverts if you click on the words?????

Strange.

[tonyav]

How do you work that spell checker on chrome ?

[ChuckFickens]

Right click on the underlined words and select the correct spelling.
