Virus, Malware or some other issues in Forum

[Pork Belly]

I am seeing highlighted words thought the forum that are appear to be links to Free Credit Score. I am not seeing this issue on other forums or websites. Is anyone else seeing this?

Brian, I haven't seen that, and (as you know), I look at every post.  Sounds like you may have a Trojan horse on your computer.  There is malware now that will direct create links, in text, to malicious sites.  I recommend running Malwarebytes, or another good malware program, just to make sure it's not a local problem.  I haven't had any flags, or other reports of that on here.

It is in my system, I see the same thing now in other sites that weren't there earlier.

Damn.  Been there, done that, too many times!  Feel for you, buddy!

Definitely a virus Brian. I have had it before. Malware bytes and or Spybot should find it. If not you will have to search for the virus in Google and look for a procedure to get it off. It won't hurt anything but it is annoying.

Resolved, Apple Tech Support & Malware Bites App, took about 15 minutes. Thanks for the tips.

Good deal!

Great news, Brian!  MalwareBytes is strong.  I use the paid version, and I never have these issues anymore. (Knocking on wood, as I type).
