Why do all the messages on the forum now have certain words or phrases written in green and underlined??

Hi,

It sounds like something has been installed on your computer that picks up certain keywords.

To get rid of recent downloaded software that you don't want visit your control panel and go to add or remove programs. Once in here order by date installed and you will probably see the offending software.

Unfortunately most things we download these days come with affiliate downloads almost unknowingly, a simple removal of this should solve your problem!

John, as Admin have said, it looks like you have got some form of affiliate software on your computer.

By affiliate, I mean someone will get paid a percentage should you click on a link and buy something. That's OK but if you've got that then there may be something else which may be a bit naughty.

Try this free software that should pick it up...
