It looks like key words are linking to some kind of pop-up ad service whenever my mouse rolls over the words. How do I get rid of this? Anyone?



I appreciate any help.

Thanks

It's adware on your computer. Has nothing to do with TD

Get malwarebytes or something. I don't know enough about macs to help

It's your browser. Look at your extensions and disable any silly nonsense.

Thanks everyone.

I've installed about three different scanning apps, added an ad blocking plug-in, and I am still having the problem. One scan found two infections, but failed to quarantine them. This sucks.

Anyway, thanks again for the help.

I couldn't find a Mac version of Malwarebytes. In a discussion forum about it, one of the recommended apps was "avast!" I'm running that scan right now.

Finally! A fix. Went to the "Help" menu in the Firefox browser window, clicked on "Troubleshooting Information" and in the pop-up window that came next, clicked "Reset Firefox." Boom! All good.

Whew! TD addiction back on track.



Thanks again, everyone.
