What could be causing this in Chrome and IE?

[G2C2C]

When I'm using Google Chrome some words on the page come up looking like a link and when I hover over them a little box appears over the word with advertisements in it.

I don't mean words the side of the page, I mean random words within the text of paragraphs etc. For example, after I post this and go back into it later, any one of these words I'm typing could come up as a link with advert.

Can I turn this off, and do you think it's a security problem. Different people use the PC at different times so it's hard to keep track of who is doing what.

On Internet Explorer, now everytime that I use it, there is a red line through the https on the address bar and I keep getting prompted about whether or not I want to view only the page parts sent securely.

Can anyone help with these problems?

Hi G2C2C,

Is it this website, or all website which produce the underline/advertisement issues?

It's likely to be a similar issue as reported here: http://www.theanswerb.../Question1129681.html

Have a read of that and see if it fixes your problem.

Cheers Ed, it was all sites. I say was because I've now blocked all plug-ins in Chrome and it seems to have stopped the problem as well as getting rid of ads on the side as well.

The only thing I'm wondering is now will there be any issues raised by doing this? Will something else perhaps not work correctly because I've blocked plug-ins?

"Will something else perhaps not work correctly because I've blocked plug-ins?"
Quite possibly.
The idea is to disable each of the plugins individually, then re-enable them one at a time to discover which is causing the problem. Then remove only that plugin and re-enable all the others.
