| 1366987 | 2014-02-06 20:47:00 | All of a sudden and out of the blue I’m getting words in green and double underlined in text from various sources including this site. 5536 Question is, how do I stop it? :thanks |

| 1366988 | 2014-02-06 21:13:00 | Im reasonably sure thats a form of adware... When you mouse over this text does it popup with an ad? | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1366989 | 2014-02-06 22:33:00 | I'd disable all extensions and then re enable them one by one, it could be one of them which is doing it. | Nick G (16709) | ||

| 1366993 | 2014-02-07 00:35:00 | It's very likely to be some kind of adware of rogue browser extension. Some websites do have that kind of crap built in as a form of advertising but as far as I know this forum doesn't. |

| 1366995 | 2014-02-07 20:56:00 | Problem solved. :clap It seems the computer had gone on some “dog breeding programme” because MalwareBytes found some PUP’s which it removed and normal transmission has now resumed. Quite what breed of PUP’s they were remains a mystery, but all is well for the moment anyway. :thumbs: |

| 1366996 | 2014-02-07 21:46:00 | Good to hear. Although i believe PUP stands for Potentially. Unwanted. Hardware :P | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
