They are green with a double underline. It started when I downloaded some games. Newly formatted computer, I'm trying various remedies now. Anybody know what this is?

Thanks.

Here's some info:

If you use Firefox, perhaps AdBlock plus will hide them.

2. Thanks. I think I got it.
With some trepidation, I managed to remove it. That app just did not want to go. I had to download an uninstaller.

I should have thought to google it. *smacks forehead*

However, in my experience, I have never been disappointed with the response of DU geeks. Gracias!
