Just awhile ago I noticed some of the words in several posts are underlined in green. And when I clicked on some of them, they go to a page where you can apply for some school or something. Then I just turned my computer back on and something from Dell pops up saying I have won 2 lap tops and to pick the colors. It was hard to get out of there. Then another thing just popped up for an on-line survey. I got that out finally, too.

So what is going on? Am I being invaded by a virus?

Kris- that is something on your computer and not the forum. Did you download anything recently? Add a new "toolbar" or something perhaps?

I get those too occasionally. They eventually go away. I just ignore them. MB

Kristin, turn on your pop-up blocker and set up your spam filter to at least medium.

Alee, my grandkids added some games yesterday. And right now "apply", "laptops" and "virus" are all underlined in green in my post. It's just weird. I have never seen this before. So this is not something that's going to blow up my computer?

Teresa, I can't find where I can turn my pop-up setting to medium. I can put the number of blocked pop-ups back to zero, though. I will just ignore all this for now. Thanks for the help.

not pop-up to medium, just turn on pop-up blocker so you get no pop-ups
