Are we getting hacked here? Words are turning into links for eHarmony and horoscopes.

It must be your browser... at least I can't see anything.

You might want to download a program that will check out your system:

http://malwarebytes.org

I've used the program and it works well.

If the link takes you somewhere else, your browser has been hacked.

You also can sometimes find out if you've been hacked by simply going to google and typing in a question about antivirus software. If you've been hacked it will not lead you to a legitimate answer.

If this is the case DO NOT CLICK on any pop up that tells you that it can remove a virus!

Blessings,
William

Ok thanks I'm gong to do that. Should we remove the thread?

Yes, if you don't want people to think that you are looking for love in all of the wrong places!!!! <grin>

Actually, just leave it just in case someone else reports seeing something.

Blessings,
William

Well apparently it is my problem. Either that or it is the rest of the internet that needs fixing. I'm having the same problem on every site I go to now. I tried to fix the browser but evidently it didn't work.I going to try removing the browser entirely and run some antivirus programs and then reinstall.

If that doesn't fix it then ya'll have to give me a hand to spread the word that the internet is broken. Smile

I second that notion - malwarebytes, everyone should have that on their machine, and it is free.

For a good antivirus - vipre or nod32. Kaspersky is good but very heavy on hard drives.
