For some words there is a green underline, under them. And if you put your pointer thing over it, it's as if you can click on it and it'll take you somewhere. Whats up with it??????

You probably downloaded it when you visited a site, or it came packaged with something you downloaded. Get a copy of Ad Aware or Spybot to get rid of it. You can get these at download.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I had another one called stop or something it might have started with an au .. augh something like that but when I got the Ad-aware I deleted it, I think that was helping with the popups, but since then I got the green lines. (Make sense? ) When you said spyware it was underlined green and I pressed on it and it took me to a spyware website - where I can dl a program to stop it (spys), but at a charge, And how would I know it's not a spyware in itself? :suspect: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a word is only underlined once on a page?? Whatever the case may be it's highly annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you might want to get a copy of a program called "Hijack Blaster" it's free over the 'net, and it doesn't come packaged with anything else. Hijack Blaster can prevent websites from hijacking your home page URL, and keep them from changing your registry settings for the net. Also, I have Google's search toolbar, which comes with a pretty good pop-up blocker. I've tried quite a few pop-up blockers, and this one seems to be the best so far. Here's a link for Spybot: http://download.com.com/3000-8022-10122137.html Here's the link to their website: http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?lang=pl Here's a link for Hijack Blaster: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/bhblaster.html There is another program called "Hijack This!", It's really invasive. But I would not recommend using the program unless you really know how your computer works. sounds to me like the problem is in your IE registry, probably in a couple of placs in your registry. But I wouldn't go tinkering around in your registry unless you know what you're doing. Let Spybot take care of that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
