I have something turning some random text to what looks like links. (blue text you can click on)

I know this is the "make fun of noobs and mess with people who need Help Board" but I thought I may get a legit response here.

I had a bad registry virus the other day, and took most of Thursday cleaning it out. Now I have this issue with link ads. Without mentioning products that got me banned. With them, I can't see the links though. But is there a way to find this malware and delete it, other than blocking it?

Its a slight nuisance.

It's an add-on to your browser.


Go into browser settings to find it and disable it.

it's called 'coupon drop down', but I can't find it.

I did have a Photzoom extension and a desk.com extension I deleted, but no "coupon drop down"
ETA-- it was one of those. The blue link ads are gone.

Thanks.
