Is it just me or suddenly when I look through posts, there is at least one word in each post which is orange and some kind of link to an advert??

When you move your cursor over it a kind of pop up box appears.

I really dont like this.....

here is an example.....

not on mine, have you accidentally loaded an extension or toolbar into your browser,...

which browser do you run?

The only ads I get are at the top and bottom of the pages.

Looks like you might have some malware, do you have good antivirus/antimalware software.

It's an annoying add-on that suddenly appeared in Chrome with me - I had to go into settings to remove it - sorry I can't remember the name!

Im using ie with norton360 anti virus. will run a system check to see what I find.

check the addons and extensions in your browser settings, it may well have been part of an update/legit addon and so wont be found by your anti-virus,...

hth

That's not being done by this site! Most likely you have some kind of spyware on your machine.

just run a full system scan and nothing found. Only happens in IE and not in chrome. Changed settings as HowardB suggestion and all seems to be fixed.

Thanks guys

I had it a couple of months back with firefox, went into programs and deleted a few I didnt recognise then reset browser settings and cleared cache which cleared it.
