I don't know if anyone else is fed up with looking at sites and as you move
the mouse over the site suddenly another little window opens offering all sorts of non-relevant offers. Having got fed up with it annoying me I found out that if you go to the site http://text-enhance.com/ you can opt out. -- Regards Bob Hobden Posting to this Newsgroup from the W.of London. UK |

Adblock+ does something similar. I never see pop-up ads. I've got "popup blocker" on for both IE and Crome but these are not normal popups. Try opening this site and running your mouse over the underlined text, see if you get little windows opening. http://www.guyershouse.com/ This is one I remember of a number I've found this these annoying little windows on. -- Regards.

Having got fed up with it annoying me I found out that if you go to the site http://text-enhance.com/ you can opt out. WARNING I use a web rating plug in from Avast anti-virus, and the page comes up with a bad rating, based on many users votes. Not sure what the problem is, I many have a browse later on, but BEWARE! I've got McAfee site adviser and nothing shows, I would not have posted a link if I thought there was a problem with the site. Going to the site, clicking on "Support" and you can op out of these new type adverts, seems to work, has for me (after a hour or so) or I wouldn't have mentioned it. The only problem is the op-out is a cookie so if you delete all cookies you will effectively op in again. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |

Er...I see no underlined text, other than the usual sort of link e.g. click _here_ for more information, and a couple or three pictures down the side advertising restaurant/wedding/accommodation/conference offers, Christmas and a sports car weekend. Certainly nothing that pops up. I'm using Firefox. I also only see _here_ underlined. Nothing happens when I roll over it even with NoScript and Adblock Plus disabled. For me, the link in the OP is not stopped by Adblock, but is stopped by NoScript (FF14.0.1). For the rollover to work, both text-enhance.com and jquery.com need to be allowed. -- Jeff |

I got an email from several of my customers saying McAfee SiteAdvisor was flagging my website as malicious. I was horrified and on further investigation and correspondence with McAfee they acknowledged they had made a mistake and changed my site rating to 'minimal risk'. No apology, no explanation why they made the mistake. I have lost sales due to their incompetence. If I had the money I'd sue the incompetent sods. |

Had a google, and text-enhance does not seem very popular, with many people calling it a virus. Lots of advice on how to remove it as well. Below is a typical post! Annoying with Text-enhance.com Virus? Text-enhance.com has been known as a browser hijacker which is able to take control of your web browsers and all kinds of search engines. Actually, this Text-enhance.com virus is not the latest infection but it still affected computer users all day round. This hijacker is somehow looks like Partner37.Mydomainadvisor.com which also came out long time ago. They can infect a system badly if users didn't remove them completely. However, it is really frustrating when users find this Text- enhance.com virus cannot be removed by any legit anti-virus programs. And Text-enhance.com is able to cause many other problems on the infected computer which may finally crash down your system. There are too many removal guides online now, but lots of them are recommending to use a legit removal tool. But to be frank, the most useful and effective way to remove this Text-enhance.com virus is by manual approach with expert skils. For many hijacker like Text-enhance.com is able to mutate fast. so it is difficult to be removed completely by the removal tools. -- Roger T 700 ft up in Mid-Wales |

Sounds like McAfee SiteAdvisor misses sites with real virus issues and malware and flags sites that are clean as being malicious. What do they do? Toss a coin? |

Text Enhance is Malware as opposed to a virus as such, what it actually is, is an add-on to your browser which then creates these pop up boxes when you hover over certain text. It is nothing to do with the sites you're visiting, it's on your computer.
