Problem...attn. Mikkyx et al.

Certain words are underlined as if linked and when you hover over them they come up with a little advert type box. Is it just me or is it like that for everyone?

Only does that for those identified as non Darlo supporters.

:D . The word 'supporters' had a link for unemployed 'moms' to earn £5000+. Random. It's happening on the SAFC board I post on too I've just noticed. Looks like it's just me then. Strange!

I had this a while back.

Basically, your browser/computer has some how been 'infected' with some kind of adware (I think it's called).

Easily fixed - I use Chrome and in the settings you can see the application that has installed itself and easily turn it off.

Yep, that's nowt to do with us. Something you've installed (could be a toolbar or piece of software) has hidden a little browser "helper" in the background that's doing this. Suggest you go through your extensions / browser helper objects / plugins (depending on browser) and remove or uninstall anything which looks like it doesn't belong.

Then, if you aren't using it already, upgrade to Chrome.....

Every time I open Chrome it just hangs for a full minute like there is no internet connection, then suddenly it stats working properly...virus? Or a s*** isp? This is happening every single time and is predictable, not on and off. Any ideas?

I think it is down to search toolbars you download, I had the problem recently on my laptop, got rid of the toolbar amd everything was alright

Have you tired the uninstall and re-install mate?

I had that problem with Firefox and it cured it, now use chrome as its quicker but maxathon is a good alternative

I think I do, maybe that's it, although I don't have loads of extensions or downloads.

Was planning on switching to Chrome, but reading the replies on here I've decided to do it now. Firefox is no more! Checked my extensions and it looks like it may have been a torrent app thingy. Anyway, mods you can delete this shite now!

Also, stop visiting left handed websites.... That might help.
