Text Enhance

anyone know how to turn off this stupid thing. I use Google Chrome where it picks random words and highlights them, bloody annoying.

It isn't picking up random words, it is picking up words that you have spelled incorrectly. I find it fairly useful once you get around the fact it has an American dictionary only.

Have a look in the wrench, settings, extensions as see what is running. If you have alot have one page up with the text that is highlighted, disable them one by one (each time refreshing the other text page) and see which one it is. Then just leave that nasty little bugger off.

I can assure thee, it chooses any old word on the page and if you click on it, it leads to surveygroupintl.com saying 'Im a winner' etc etc. Oh and as a fully fledged member of the grammar police, I don't spell anything incorrectly, unless its intentional, like others do on here.

no thats Anti Virus that tells you on a google search if the site is safe or check a webpage before it loads. Might want to keep that.

Is it only on NSC that you get it because a advert tool is run on the text by Bozza to increase site revenue i think.

Nah - I've not put anything like that on here. Malware.

Follow my link, as we have all said malware, download an anti-malware program e.g.

download a copy of Malwarebytes from Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware, anti-virus and spyware removal download (theres a free version) and give your pc a full scan.

Ah I hover over it and it says "shopping link added by SkimWords"

I see the iphone link too, but the malware software did clean up my issue, NSC = your one stop shop for everything you could possibly need advice on!
