Anybody recognize this?

[wildguy3922]

I've never seen this before, maybe someone on Charas has.





Where I have circled on the pictures in yellow are green hyperlinks. They appear EVERYWHERE I go on the internet. I see on Yahoo, MSN, Charas, etc.

I just noticed it and I would like it gone. Does anybody know how to get rid of it.

And the hyperlinks search the word that is underlined and takes me to a search engine to search up the word.

Here it is again on this page!

Interesting... Have you installed any suspicious online software?

[AsakuraHao2004]

Hah! IE does that sometimes, randomly inserts ads based on text. My advice: Get firefox.

[Leon_1990]

yep, its definately IE....

[wildguy3922]

I was having a party Saturday night and one of my friends went on the internet and downloaded a game named Fate, I never heard of it. And I don't know what else he downloaded. I'm jus trying to figure how I get rid of it.

And it goes away when I press refresh.

FATE is made by a game company known as WILDTANGENT. They make VERY nifty games. It's a shame that once you download them, you can't uninstall them. They constantly upload information from the Wildtangent site. Wether or not your information goes to them or not is still rough to me.

Long story short: Wildtangent and their games are all Spyware.

It might have something to do with you having the horrible Yahoo search bar. Why again do you have it?

Or that could be the problem.

[wildguy3922]

No, because I've always had the Yahoo search bar. I use it to go to the homepage, check mail, popup blocker, and search up stuff really fast.

I don't use any of the other stuff.

But, that's not the problem.

eZula does something like that too...

[DragonBlaze]

Yeah, ezula did that to my computer a while ago, use a spyware removal program to fix it. If that doesn't work, you can use a program called hijackthis to get rid of it, but I don't recommend it because you can accidently delete something your computer needs.

IE can allow adware to download to your computer without your knowledge when you are randomly surfing the net.  I had that adware thing, it was some gay toolbar that took so effing long tog et off.  So I got Firefox after that.

[Darkfox]

I had this once. Allow me to help you. Look for a folder inside Program Files called somthing like "Text" somthing.
