ads on my computer

[kacaju]

I need help. Some kind of ad thingy is on my computer and I cannot figure out what it is. Certain words (no real rhyme or reason which ones)appear in green with 2 lines under them. If you click on the word an ad will appear.
Does anyone know what this is so I can remove it??

These are ads by Vibrant Media (http://www.vibrantmedia.com/). It might be something done by the websites you are viewing, or it might be that you have some kind of virus, trojan, or some other kind of web browser extension running on your computer. If you see them on DISBoards, it is definitely a problem with your computer. Here is a thread from 2009 on the Technical Support board about it:

Also, try installing malware/spyware blocking software like Adblock. If you use FireFox or Chrome for doing your web browsering, you can use the AdblockPlus extension to block most ads.
