pete 2,499 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Help needed! I or my kids seem to have download something that underlines certain words on a story i am reading. If I put the pointer on to it, it opens up an advert. Anyone any idea what programme causes this? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,145 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 This happens automatically on some websites mate. Where is it happening for you? Everywhere or just selected places? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Seems to be everywhere Frankie. I have it on here and FF and also the ETimes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,145 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yeah, FF do it on their main site but not their forum. You may be able to stop it by installing a plugin for your browser. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedell 5,329 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 It has suddenly started happening to me too, so far only on this website. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 No problems here with Firefox 13.01 browser (including the Adblock Plus add-on/extension). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 No problems here with Firefox 13.01 browser (including the Adblock Plus add-on/extension). It is a programme called text enhance. It seemingly is attached to codec C and Codec M add ons. I have got rid of it at the moment by running CCleaner which cleared all the cookies. I am afraid that is a temporary fix as I have not found it's base. Watch when you(General term) are downloading codecs and don't accept the add-ons. people who complained to the company were told they have no control over it but I think they make Green sound like a saint. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
