I have recently have had certain words show up in green and underlined, and when I scroll my mouse over them an ad pops up that says: Text enhance You could win an iPad!
How do I get rid of this it is quite annoying.
Thanks

It's called intellitxt.
You need to install adblocker to get rid of it.
If you use Firefox, or Google Chrome install Adblock Plus: http://adblockplus.org/en/
If you use IE install Simple Adblock: http://simple-adblock.com/faq/internet-explorer-9/

Thank you very much, I should perhaps have thought about doing a quick google search myself. :blush:

I have installed ad blocker but the green words are still showing up.
Do I need to change something in ad blockers settings or something.
Thanks
