Underlined Words In Red.

[ummmm]

Is it happening for everyone?

Random words are appearing like Mollykins.

Is it a new way of advertising?

[albaqwerty]

It also happens when you type AB Editor, It's just a quick link to a thread :-)

[albaqwerty]

er, well obviously not!! ho hm, Ab Editor maybe?

[NoMercy]

Mollykins has appeared in red for ages. She was a legend. :)

[ummmm]

Yes...but random words are doing it now. I read a thread and mortgage was in red. Other words as well.

[ummmm]

See.

Most likely to be spell-checker if it's just random words, colour comes up saying it's wrong, it's not, color apparently is how it's spelled. It's the US spell-check thingy.

[bibblebub]

Is it not spell checking?

[bibblebub]

(if it is spellcheck then you should be able to change the dictionary that your browser is using from US to GB)

[albaqwerty]

Bibble, your av has made my day! I'm a sucker for Winnie and his pals.
(Sorry ummmm)

Hmmm

Your original post suggested that the phenomenon is related purely to this website (because you mentioned the name of a dormant AB member) but your further posts suggest that your computer has acquired Text Enhance, which is a well-known piece of adware (a.k.a malware).

Download, install and run the free version of Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware to get rid of it:

[ummmm]

It's not spell check.

When you read this post can you not see the word mortgage in red?

I wonder does it happen to people that have adblocker installed ...

[Buenchico]

Bibblebub's post relates to things you've typed becoming underlined before you click 'Submit'.

I've assumed (from "I read a thread and mortgage was in red") that you're referring to words that you've not typed yourself.

[ummmm]

In Chris's post the word 'computer' and 'install' are red and underlined.

[Buenchico]

No, 'mortgage' isn't in red when we read it, which confirms that the problem is on your computer.

See above to fix it.

PS: Many of my answers are based purely upon 'theory' or upon Google searches. The one above is based upon experience. I've had exactly the same problem myself in the past!
