I'm suffering from a malware I think is called "text enhance" where words on the screen become tinted green and are doubly-underlined and link through to adverts. I've tried allsorts to clear this PITA including SpyBot Search & Destroy, AVG updates and clearing all my cookies.
The fcuking "text enhance" is STILL with me and I'm getting real hacked off with it.
Has anyone got a cure?

Hi,
What browser are you using? Do they appear in other browsers that you don't normally use?
Could be a newly added browser toolbar? If so try removing.
Hope this helps?

Firefox seems particularly susceptible to this malware. I ran IE and didn't see the same malware there.
There are no new toolbars on my PC either.

Are there any toolbars?
Or any newly added add-ons?

Download and install adblock plus.
Add it to Firefox add-on and they all go away.
