Hyperlinks on the Forum?
Anyone else seeing these things all over the place on IGx? It's the only site I'm seeing it at and I'm running Chrome.
WTF is that?

I'm using Safari from both desktop and mobile devices and I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
You ever seen a cycling plumber who wrestles with small calves, forearms and neck? Didn't think so.

I'm using Chrome. There's nothing out of the ordinary happening for me.

You might have picked up a little something online. I have that sometimes, check your plug-ins.

Re: Hyperlinks on the Forum?
I don't see anything either but it has happened to me before. It ended up being what Freki suggested. Cleaned it up and they went away.

I'm the farthest fucking thing from a computer whiz, but I cleared it up buy dee-letting and .exe file called surfbetter. It changed extension in both chrome and explorer though I have no idea what that really means.

Re: Hyperlinks on the Forum?
Thanks, gents....I ran CCleaner and deleted a Solitaire app that was the likely culprit.

Re: Hyperlinks on the Forum?
This shit is back somehow but also on IE on work-related sites (like LinkedIn). I also have some flying saucers that pop up across the screen 'inviting' me to play a game. My anti-virus, CCleaner and Spybot have all been run. Any other ideas before I ask my help desk, who will get back to me sometime in May or June?
TIA.

Re: Hyperlinks on the Forum?
Found the fucker: it's called webasteroids and was hiding...I think weatherbug was the culprit, not positive though. CCleaner found it, but couldn't uninstall it, but the windows uninstaller did it after I uninstalled weatherbug. Just fyi.

Nah, came across her on the chive but it is very likely she is on tapiture as well. I happen to like tapiture a lot more than the chive. I have several tumblrs that I frequent as well that many of my girlfriends come from too.High Velocity Lie-Nap! wrote:Yeah, he found her on Tapiture.nafod wrote:All I see is Mickie's super-mega-hot signature babe
