Advertising

What's with the advertising popping up when your cursor goes over the underlined words in blue which are showing up in many posts?

Just realized this is happening at other sites as well. Methinks there are gremlins running amok in my computer

Don't ya hate it!! Scrolling text ads or Vibrant ads are a pain! I haven't tried this but it might work? http://www.ehow.com/how_5184044_remove-vibrant-ads.html

Thanks

I had to turn Java on again. I couldn't get to my homepage without it.

You shouldn't be seeing these sorts of ads on FlightSim.Com.

I'm seeing them all over the forums. On this page the HDD in mr zippys signature is blue and underlined. Moving the mouse over it brings up an ad for cloud storage.

Hmmm, I do not see the same thing. I see just the text.
I hate to say it but something seems to have been added to
your browser or some malware possibly. I would advise to
download free Microsoft Security Essentials and try a full scan.

Please let me know how you make out. (with the problem).

I had the same issue with my home and e-mail page... It's a spyware program... Rode in on a online survey...

Clicking on the question mark on the ad took me to "text-enhance.com". Under the support tab you can disable the ads. They do it by putting a cookie in Firefox that opts you out. That has taken care of the annoying ads for now, but I still have to track down the program and get it out of my system.
