Hi was wondering if anyone else has this problem? When I open a thread some words in the thread are highlighted in orange and under lined. When I click on these it takes me to another site which is trying to tell me I have won an iphone. Obviously its a lie but wondering if anyone else has the same problem. Only started seeing it today.
Thanks Terry. |

Thanks for the advice. And glad no one else is affected. Getting someone I work with to look at it. I am pants on computers so would not know how to do a screen shot. |

Thats pants hun. It isn't happeneing to mine either so sounds like it is something on your computer. Does as K says and see if you can get a screen shot of the pop-up. He might then be able to advise you on how to stop it |

Must be my computer because it is the same when I am on the Internet. |

Also is it browser specific? Does it happen in internet explorer and Firefox / chrome? |

might be on my computer as i can see one on tordyjos posting. where they have posted "genuine sites" on my computer the word sites is in orange and underlined so when you click on it as if its a link. I get a pop up telling me i have won a phone. If this is not on antone elses it must be my computer. |

Is this on all threads? You might have installed a plugin which will pick key words and send you to affiliate sites. You should be able to see if this is the case by disabling any add-ons. |

I haven't seen any underlining or anything except on Kehhlyr's post about the F10 spray, and they send me to genuine sites - sorry |

If you are suggesting it is on here...i haven't seen anything at all. Sounds like you may have some malware on your machine or something - might be worth giving something like Malware Bytes anti-malware a go from http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html |
