New external ads ?

martin g

Ive just noticed that on some sites i visit that there are a new kind of external ads on them. Ive only noticed them the last few days. Has anyone else noticed these or is my computer caught some virus or something else ? They are underlined and when i hover over them the ad pops up. I havent clicked on any though .

Are you using Chrome? Heard of this problem before, its due to a dodgy addon/plugin. Try disabling all recent addons and see if it helps, if its another browser also look at the addons. Facebook/Twitter etc "enhancers" or online game addons have been the cause of this in the past. Also let us know one of the sites affected, some websites do employ such a system, not many though

Yea im using chrome, its happening on this site ! Its not happening on fb or twitter that ive noticed. Ive noticed it most when im using stumble upon, i think that was the last thing ive installed on my chrome browser. Would un installing the stumble upon tool bar get rid of it do you reckon?

Here's similar one from feedback

Malware or addon the cause, never really resolved.

Its probably just a dodgy plugin causing it. I wouldn't be getting too worried :yet: :P

This is called INTELLITEXT and it can easily be disabled by DISABLING 'ACTIVE SCRIPTING'.. (I almost always have scripts disabled)
