    Hey all,

    I seem to have strange advert links in my website pages (including Boards, rte etc) identified by underlying link and a green symbol. Its really annoying. Have run a number virus scans which havent thrown up anything. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have hopefully attached a snip of the issue.

    Cheers in advance,

    Rob

    Have you tried running Malwarebytes? I've used it before to detect and remove ad/malware and links like you describe..

    It picked up quite a few things. I exported the log into a .txt file, however not sure it its user friendly.

    edit out anything you dont want shown, but would be good for me to see it if you want to remove this thing

    fix/delete what malwarebytes found

    then download and run adwcleaner, delete what it finds and post its log

    you can post these logs rather than attach them

    Download OTL to your Desktop
    • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
    • Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings. The scan wont take long.
    • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files here
