Subject: What are you doing with my BNET?!?!

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

Alright, so I was checking my messages and in it I found that it had green text in it. I was gonna report it but when I went to the forum I see the same thing. When I hover over it, it gives me an advertisement for the Ipad or some other thing. Here it is. Here is the add.

What is this I don't even...

Yuck.

OT: It's not happening for me, I don't know what tell you.

That's a feature of some sort of addon. I've seen it happen on other sites as well but not always on those sites.

  • 09.28.2011 8:19 PM PDT

Huh. That's a new one. Never seen it before on my Internet Explorer.

I also maintain that Chrome is weaksauce, and IE9 is fast and works very well

Actually, just do this:
Right click on an empty space in IE > All Accelerators > Manage Accelerators...

From there you can manage all of your add-ons. Find the toolbar/accelerator/extension/whatever that is using "text enhance" and disable or remove it.

Strange thing is when this started happening I lost my Chrome. I hate IE. It can burn.

If I were you, I would listen to your spam toolbar and clean your PC. You probably have some sort of spyware on your computer.

Just got my Chrome back, no more of those!
IE is a death trap, that just proves it...

I'm still confused as to why anyone would still use IE...

Somehow my computer deleted my Firefox,Chrome, and all other good web pages. I had to venture into using...It. It was the only way I could get my good stuff back. Never again...

Well first, at least one of those toolbars is a virus. The one I'm eying is the Clean your PC one. You should run a scan with Malware Bytes.

I've never added a toolbar to IE because I've never used it before until now. Now, I won't ever use it.

None of the tool bars are viruses, they are more spyware than anything. Start by getting rid of most of them. The Norton one is fine, so keep that.

Also, go into your Program Files in you computer and make sure you don't see weird folders (like "Free Coupons" or something).

When you are installing programs some will ask if you would also like to install their toolbar during the setup. If you don't pay attention during the setup then you will miss the option not to include the toolbar, and as a result you will have installed the toolbar without knowing it.

All of those toolbars do not come with IE by default and you can always get rid of them. I'm just saying, IE really isn't that bad any more.
