Why are there highlighted and/or underlined words showing up in blue on the forum now? It just started happening about 30 minutes or so ago. Did I hit some kind of key combo on my keyboard or is this something new on the forum? If I click on the word it takes me to another search engine about the word I clicked.

Wot browser are you using, m8?

Chrome.

In short, google is trying some gay thing where they profile your usage and highlight words that fit your profile. I think they're homosexuals trying to dwarf their competition.

Clearly it's Katy Perry gathering evidence about your character and is preparing a huge lawsuit against you for libel. I told you a long time ago that shit is gonna come back to bite you in the ass.

I thought that, Bux, but I was wondering why it just started happening.

Katy loves me, Andy, although she may be a little upset that I'm also banging Sara Jean Underwood and Scarlett Johansson too.

Serious answer is that it's a sort of spam virus your Chrome picked up.

Or you're on double secret probation.

How do I get rid of it?

This is likely.

I'm using chrome too and I don't have this issue. I thought it was because I'm not nearly as cool as Mickey.

I wouldn't feel bad, GBM, no one is.

My wife had some similar thing on her laptop. I think what I had to do is root through the "extensions" and uninstall whatever didn't look right (maybe I googled anything suspect, too), then maybe I also had to go to my Windows Control Panel to uninstall anything that didn't look right (again, maybe googling stuff too). It wasn't that bad, just finding stuff in easy-to-find spots, trying to uninstall, maybe googling, too, no hardcore virus removal type things.

EDIT: note my antivirus software didn't pick it up. I think Malwarebytes might have noticed it if we had been running it at the time, but we weren't on that computer. See here for the free program, it's good stuff: http://www.malwarebytes.org/
