    I haven't seen anyone else mention this, but these links appeared on Thursday. They are in key words in every post, has everyone got these?

    Personally, I find them seriously irritating! :steam:

    I also use adblock, but as I said, since Thursday all common words appear in green and are double underlined. When you pass your cursor over them a box appears with options to various sites. Only seems be the original thread post.

    I'm using Google Chrome

    Good call, I've just opened this page through Firefox and they don't appear, so it must be in the settings somewhere

    For a start thats got spyware in it that reports back to google, so Id use comodo dragon or iron which is chrome but with the spyware stripped out.

    Theres an option in adblock to allow "unintrusive ads" which is allowed by default. My guess is that youve got that checked.

    Do you mean when you sign in as a guest and adverts come up (I'm a bit of a luddite so please excuse my ignorance)
    I did find it rather amusing that on the thread i started there were adverts coming up for Macmillan Nurses and private prostrate surgery. It did make me chuckle :)

    Not seen anything like it HE. Sounds quite worrying that the links have invaded normal articles though...

    Did have a lot of fun trying to get rid of the ukash virus on Thursday night (Malwarebytes resistant strain) - 4 hours of constant swearing. :(

    I just turned my adblock off and I didnt get them so it looks like you got a virus or malware on your computer.

    Scan scheduled for tonight anyway, but I'll run it now. Problem is, slows the PC down something rotten while it's running!

    Double underlined green hyperlinks? Same thing hit me a couple of months ago. Very annoying. Scans didn't clear it.

    Changing my laptop and reverting to Chrome did.
