random underlined links

WaxiesDargle

On forums that I go on including this one, I am getting underlining on random words. If I put the mouse pointer on this it becomes a link to anything from iphones, gifts, PPI. This has only stated to happen today

Anyone know whats caused this and how I can stop it happening?

Cheers?

what browser addons have you installed recently

nothing that I know of...I've noticed that when I click on 'start' there in the left side window something called First Row Sport app is there, I'm not sure if thats anything to do with it though

No doubt they'll have told you that you need this or that plugin to play the content (even if you don't). Downloading it will also bring a little add-on to your browser, perhaps an invisible one. The site will get maybe a cent for every link you click on. You didn't think they steal live sports broadcasts and redistribute them out the goodness of their own hearts, did you?

look in your browser to see what addons are installed

Probably downloaded iLivid from FirstRow streaming window.

Use this to remove it completely
