Why is this happening, it drives me nuts!

[slinky]

Do you have an example thread on which this is happening?

I haven't seen it happen on anything today, I suspect that something is happening with your browser, are you able to try a different one?

[VidalBaboon]

There's one on your post.

It's text enhance, whatever that is. I've got no idea how that's happened.

In which case, I fear it's definitely your browser.. Have you installed a new bit torrent client recently?

I've got no idea what that means, i was trying to download a free manual this morning, but gave up in the end.

I've noticed my tabs are opening with something called babylon?

I'm afraid you've managed to download something, but not what you intended..

I'll move this over to Computers, Gadgets and stuff to see if anyone can assist you over there..

Thank you

I don't know it specifically. But I'd suggest running.

Malwarebytes
http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware...

and then

ccleaner

And see what's found.

Babylon search is a real git. I downloaded it a while back, it piggybacked in with a file converter.

if you are on Chrome, click the wrench, tools, extensions, turn it off.

Its an addon so i dont think antispyware will remove it.

In the top bar look for tools, then from the drop down list look for add ons.

2nd choice down is extensions, then disable the baylon from there.

Inside the add ons window search for adblock plus, it will stop the embedded word style adverts.
