****ty laptop...

[Pete]

When searching on forums lately certain words are underlined like SO lol and when i hover over the underlined word it advertises stuff etc... ive gathered its not the forum etc so any ideas on what it is? someone that could be on my laptop?

that'll be a virus/spyware

[Pete]

o'great... ill do a virus scan then lol

[mowgli]

sounds like you downloaded something like mywebsearch.... have fun getting rid of it..

its not a virus, and it has a lot of self protection things..

open up in safe mode & try & find it.

[Pete]

lol i wouldnt know what to look for even in safe mode

+ Since it did the underline thing i keep getting Low disk space on D :(

actually these kind of things are alot more restrained than they used to be, go to your add/rewmove and see whats there, you would most probably have installed something and given permission for something else to be installed with it

Pete which browser are you using?

Have you tried a different one to see if it's still doing the same thing??

[Pete]

Well i did a virus scan and it found nothing..
searched internet and it was an add-on for Firefox, so ive removed the add-on and its stopped :)
so think that was the problem lol thanks everyone anyway :)

[Southie]

My next suggestion was if Firefox is what your using would be to install Adblock btw.

Glad you sorted it Pete but next time search the web beforehand lol

[Pete]

use google chrome, computer will run so much better than with firefox.
