links to spam offers on random words on sites - how can i stop it?

[joko]

Just recently i have noticed lots of random words are underlined when im online, yet when i scroll over to see what it links to its some sort of selling site - or just some annoying pop up thing

it never used to happen, so why is it suddenly happening?
its on here too - does anyone else have it?

how do i switch it off?

thanks

It sounds as if your browser has been attacked by malware.

Download the free version of Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware:

IMPORTANT: Close your browser!

Install and run the downloaded program, removing any threats found.

Restart your PC, open your browser and see if the problem is still there.

If that doesn't work, try reinstalling your browser.

Otherwise try using System Restore, to take your computer's registry back to a date before the problem first occurred.

cheers chris, but i already have full internet security with avg, which catches malware apparently

would using another make any difference?

see the words internet security in my last post were red and underlined and said they were powered by 'text-enhance' ...

any ideas what that means?

think ive fixed it - i checked in programs for secret extensions and removed them and its ok now

I get this
More on single words such as phone
Just run the malware as suggested above and it found 5 issues

Will now see if phone is underlined
