Answer» This was a particular game which was clicked on by accident. I began seeing double underlined words in my text I couldn't get rid of. I just recently removed Google Chrome from my system, now the underlines seem to be gone. However, is this just a game, or is it a virus of some sort they don't tell you about? Is there more I need to do? I hate to lose Google Chrome since I need it for so many applications. Any other suggestions?I can't find too much info about that program that indicates that it is malicious. Why not re-install Chrome and see what happens. We can always run some scans to see what's on your computer.My wifes computer recently started doing the same thing... "Double Underlined Words in text of websites etc". And I am glad i read your post here. While I am not authorized to make any suggestions here in this thread, I have some info on the Arcade YUM, as well as now KNOW what to target on my wifes system that is having the same issue.
On Arcade YUM .... My wife saw an ad for Donkey Kong Arcade Classic for free play through YUM. She installed that and then it left her at here: http://www.arcadeyum.com/ where Donkey Kong was nowhere to be found, until you manually search for it and come up here: http://www.arcadeyum.com/Search?term=donkey
She has AVG Antivirus as well as MalwareBytes Free editions. Both come up with no problems detected.
The double underlined text on the website that seems to happen now ever since she installed that game have hyperlinks to www.coupons.com and the links are just as reported at this site here: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/green-double-underlined-ads-removal/
Last night i was looking into this problem and didnt put this problem together with Arcade YUM that she installed a few days prior. So I want to thank you for sharing this info as for now I know what i will be uninstalling right away as well as hopefully the hyperlink hijacker type of adware can be easily removed with its uninstallation.
The scary part is that MalwareBytes and AVG detected no problems, yet there is a definite problem!
