doubble underlines appear under words which pop up some game advertising. the lines alone are annoying, pop up adds are starting to make me angry. How to I switch this off. brinson@rice.edu
double underlines appear under seemingly random words. This by itself is annoying. they all seem to link to the same game site which is irrelevant to anything I am doing. How do I defeat this feature?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
