Title: Caution!!
Post by: Papaw on January 14, 2014, 04:26:25 PM

Somehow the "mouse over" links have returned. If you see a green highlighted word or phrase it is a link. If you mouse over it it pops up a description. These are ads or something which I did not put here, they are spam! I haven't figured out how to get rid of them yet.
DON'T CLICK ANY OF THE LINKS!!

I had the same issue a few weeks ago.  As it turned out my issue was a "plug-in" into my browser causing the "problem".  I just removed the plug-in and the issue disappeared.  I've not seen any since.

Didn't it turn out to be a add-on tool bar?
