Spyware infection?

Options
Hi
I've noticed a lot of blue high-lighted words appear on websites that I use (including this one).

When I hovver over it an ad appears for i-phones.

Is this spyware?

I've tried cleaning up my computer by using Malware bytes anti-malware, Old Timer and the Clean Up! program.

But they still appear.

How do I get rid of them?

    Is that any better ? your log was not very easy to read .....
    I would post a DDS log and then wait for waddler_8 to have time to run his expert eye over that -
    see below

    Post [STRIKE]me[/STRIKE] Him (sorry waddler) a DDS log - should take 2-3 minutes.

    Download DDS from the link below and save it to your desktop:

    Link

    After you've downloaded it and saved it to your desktop:
    • Double click DDS to run it.
    • When it's finished, DDS will open two logs:
    1. DDS.txt
    2. Attach.txt
    Save both reports to your desktop.

    Copy & paste the contents of just DDS.txt for now and post it here (you may need to split the log over separate posts)

    Thanks for your help.
    I think the problem has been solved.
    I done what you suggested and also ran CC cleaner too.
    Something worked, I can't see any annoying ads at the moment.
    If something appears again tomorrow, I'll let you know.

    Thanks again.

    it was pretty obvious from the AdwCleaner log that you are not very careful in what you download - most of the things in it were typical common bits of not necessarily virii, but adware, yes, PUPs - yes, and whilst not malicious in themselves as such, can easily leave back doors open for more dangerous malware to infect your system......be more careful in your surfing & downloading habits :)

    oh, and more good advice from dcm, run and post a DDS log ;)

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    I would still post a DDS log it doesn't take long and someone wiser than I may spot something , I would also make sure that Java(if you have it), Acrobat Reader, flash and anything you use is up to date, I wish you good luck.
