Need Computer Tech Help

I'm starting to see certain keywords and phrases in posts highlighted in red and double underlined. I'm pretty much only seeing it on this website. When I hover the mouse over that highlighted phrase/word it pops up with some stupid ad from 'easy inline.' Is this some new deal on XDTalk to bring in new revenue or do I have some sort of adware on my computer.

If it's adware please give me some advice on getting rid of it.

Thanks fellas for the help.

I don't see it. I suspect adware. You should find a spyware removal tool.

I recommend this also, and before it takes over.

download Malwarebytes Anti Malware from Malwarebytes. Install it, let it update itself and then run a quick scan unless you have multiple user accounts on the computer.

Problem solved.

You should also look for ANY installed software or browser add-ons from conduit.com.

PM me if you need help with any of this.

Just kidding. Run a good spyware tool as others have suggested.
