How to get rid of Word Links on Web Pages

[MickeyTheBrick]

For the past couple of weeks, most pages I visit on the web, including forms that I'm filling in, have some random words highlighted, like links. It's nothing to do with the site that I'm visiting. I've clicked on them a couple of times, just to see what happens, and it always takes me to a search engine called 'ibryte'. I don't want these links and have never (knowingly) requested them. They are annoying. How do I get rid of them?

Sounds like you may have some spyware or malware on your PC.

Try to run some anti malware software and see if that shifts it.

Try malwarebytes first. Download the free version, install it, update it, then run a full scan

Or you may have some sort of "add on" that has been added to your browser.

Use the various browser menus to to see what "add ons" you have installed.

Thanks, VHG. Turns out that I had installed a thing called PlayBryte (unintentionally). I uninstalled it and all is now fine. Thanks for your answer.
