How do I get rid of this?
« on: January 11, 2013, 05:09:21 PM »
I use Google Chrome and have new hyperlink advertisements that appeared since I got home. Anyone know how to get rid of them? They're all over GBO.

Since the attached photos screenshots don't appear correctly here's an explanation of the problem. Random words appear as a blue highlighted hyperlink. They're all underlined with two blue lines as well. Just scrolling the cursor over them gets a small pop-up window to appear. Click on them and they direct you to another site. I have GC set to block all pop-ups.

Thanks, Dinny

when you find out, please share.
i don't know how to fix this
blankety-blanker cuz it doesn't
have a crankshaft and pistons or
a receiver and barrel.
if it came to it, i'd just have to
yank the cord out of the wall. :P

Actually I just learned the answer to my own question. I uninstalled Free Works from my computer programs and now it's gone. Go to Control Panel, Programs, Uninstall and then reboot when prompted.
