Guys, in post after post I'm seeing words that are blue and double underlined. Is it just me?

Is it a browser setting? Some browsers have options to highlight, underline or change the color of links. No, I don’t see it.

I definitely don’t see it. Does this only happen to you when on Fluther, or has it occurred for you on other websites as well?

I am not seeing it. Thank goodness!

Nothing on my side.

I think it means there is a virus on your computer. Had it on the work computer once.

Sounds like ^ ^ a virus, have you recently added anything to your computer? It can happen when you open an app and then to continue into the app you “agree to end” the fine print is they will put a virus to add hypertext for different ” sale sites ”.

Well, here and on other random web pages. It’s not on fb, tho.

@Juels It’s creating the links. For example, in your words ”...a browser…” they are blue and double underlined.

You, I remember I had this once before. Can’t remember what I did about it. Let me go look….

I think @janbb and @Tropical_Willie are right. If you have a virus scanner, give your computer a scan. Otherwise, you’ll want to get one so you can scan your computer. Adware (which is what this sounds like) does exactly what you are describing.

Go to this site and download Malwarebytes FREE. Stay away from the websites that keep giving you malware.

Older versions of Internet Explorer would do that. If you hover over the double-underlined words it would pop up a balloon showing where the link would go to. It was an advertising thing that they tried to champion.

What browser are you using and do you have any extensions installed?

I had that same problem now I log on with windows 8 splash screen instead of going into classical mode. Also I reset my computer somehow and returned it to my pre spam state.

It’s happened to me in the past, and it was always malware. @Tropical_Willie‘s suggestion usually does the trick. Good luck!

Ran malware. Looks like it worked! Thanks guys.
