Outlaw Gambler Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I see some of the words in titles and posts that are underlined and in red. If I click on the red word it takes me out of the SASS wire and to a directory. I cliked on doctor and got a page listing dr's in my area. Anyone else getting this, or do I have a computer problem.

Eamon Chute Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I get them too. I just got a new 'puter and using Mozilla for the first time. I'm thinking that it has something to do with Mozilla. EC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw Gambler Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm using IE. Don't think that is the answer. By the way I m only getting them on the SASS wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagon Box Willy Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Can you be a little more specific. Give us an example of a word that is hyperlinked and the directory name that it is pointing to on your computer. It is not a Firefox thing, something else is weird.

Wagon Box Willy Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm thinking that you are infected with some kind of Malware or ActiveX script which is doing this. If you're not running it already, download Malwarebytes and run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw Gambler Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Willie, in your first post the word Firefox is in red with double underlining. In your second post the word Nikon DSL in your profile is in red with double underlining. In Brother Kings Shot Show post the first sentence has the word shot show in red and in the last line the word manufacturing is in red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not running it already, download Malwarebytes and run it. Yup. Its a redirect thing. Had one last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw Gambler Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Malwarebyte got rid of it. Now I have to figure out how to get rid of an unwanted tool bar and search engine that has taken over for google. Ever heard of Vgrabber. Went to remove programs and found it in the listing and removed it. Doesn't show in listing but still comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to remove programs and found it in the listing and removed it. Doesn't show in listing but still comes up. Now try and see if it's still in IE. Go to Settings ( the gear in the upper right) and select "Manage Add-Ons" and see if it is listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw Gambler Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 vgrabber is not listed. I had to do a file search and found it in three locations. Deleted all three into the recycle bin and then emptied the bin. Damn vgrabber still comes up as search engine even though I have chrome as default.

Do you mean that you have Google as the default search engine in IE, which is set up by going to Settings-Internet Options-General-Change Search Defaults-Settings ?? Sorry for the stupid questions, just trying to understand your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
