adverts appearing in posts?
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.....

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!

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,...

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

Interesting, I run the development version of chrome and haven't seen anything like that. Might be worth a virus/malware scan to see if
there's anything else been installed.

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.
