Has anyone noticed that certain words or paragraphs are red underlined in you captions or comments. when I click on it I get some sort of advertisement...how about you?
even in this here New Topic..Where it starts our with STOP. Are you starting a discussion etc. starting is in red and underlined!!!! - try it!
I've got the same thing. Have tried fixing it with various anti-virus stuff but nothing has helped. The only way I can get round it is to disable the Shockwave add-on. But then I cannot upload pics. Sigh. So it's a matter of enabling and disabling daily! Please let me know whether there is a permanent fix.
I had it once...but I searched the problem on google, then tried what that article told me to do to get rid of it and it did. I also use mozilla fire fox and not Internet explorer...that helps to not get it again I think....they say that firefox's code is different and the virus writing folks don't make up viruses for that or can't or something....
@kwiksilver Hi Guillian..my husband got it fixed. here is what he did. first we ran a virus scan and a spyware scan..but didn't help..so he went into the control panel and uninstalled a few of them..I have Photoscape and Hans updated it earlier today. so he figured it came in with that. one was ShopToWin and there was something with Quick (he can't remember what) so he took that out..all is ok with now..virus disappeared...I don't know if this will help you.
Those of you that have this happening, do you also have that annoying right corner pop up thing with pictures of gears on it that recommends certain things to buy based on what you've typed? I had that for a while. Don't just disable it through it in the corner. Go to control panel, programs, find the name of it and delete it totally from there. I think that is how my red underlined thing stopped too, but not sure. @kwiksilver@bruni
This doesn't sound so much like a virus, as a spyware/spamware thing. Such spam tools often come hidden with freeware applications. You have to do a detailed installation, not the easy one, and remove toolbars, helpers and suchlike. You can also disable plugins in Internet Explorer and other browsers.
Ad-aware is a very good a very good tool to get rid of things like that.
@debsulzberger the following was addressed to me by @bankmann. maybe it'll help you Deb.

@bruni Thanks Bruni - I'll certainly try it out. I don't have Photoscape but I did an update on my add-ons tonight and the Quicktime something took ages to update. Maybe that's where the problem is. I'll remove that and see what happens. Thanks :)
I had it appearing on my posts also but saw it in others posts as well for about a week - now it's gone. I haven't done anything that I know of to get rid of it and I use Fire Fox.
@debsulzberger@kwiksilver This might help.
I've window 7 and my husband went through the following steps..this is what he told me to write to you.
Go to start your computer and find the control panel.
now go to all programs
click on uninstall a program
when it comes up find the ones you don't need
for instance SHOPandWIN, QUICK SEARCH
On Window 7 a link to the program will come on the bottom, open that link first to check if you require this particular program and go out of that page and go back to the control panel. if you decide you don't want this app. click on uninstall.
let me know if it will do it for you.
I think i have found it...a friend told me to check my Chrome extensions and how to which i didnt even know i could and there was a thing there called yontoo...i think i found it..so far so good
@Scrivna@debsulzberger@beba8162@kwiksilver@espyetta - I found it! I use Foxfire so I am not sure if some of these instructions will work for you if you use another browser. I placed my mouse over one of the links that are appearing and a little window open in the bottom left corner of the Firefox browser and I saw in the name of the link "sandori". I use a program called, Revo Uninstaller, but you can look in your Control Panel/Programs and features in Win7. Sure enough there was an icon with Sandori underneath it. The icon looks like a compass. I deleted sandori and the links are now gone. I hope this works for you too.

See also a program called SpyBot Search and Destory.
But you might also like to flush your browser cache to begin with.
