If you see on this web-site or other web-sites what appear to be randomly underlined or double-underlined words that work more like Ads than content related to the article there is a reason. Most likely you are using Internet Explorer with an extra tool bar or an Add-On. What happens are keywords in the current web-site are identified and linked to different advertisers and the Add-On tool tries to link the two. If you find this annoying you can track down what is doing this in Internet Explorer as follows:
- Left-Click on Tools, Left-Click on Manage Add-Ons.
- In the window that appears the source is likely be a Toolbar or Extension. Look for Add-Ons not related to the Security Software you use. And you should be able to ignore items listed by Adobe or Java.
- After identifying the likely source, Left-Click on it to highlight and Left-Click on the Disable Button. You may have to restart Internet Explorer for the change to take effect.
- Go back to the web-site and see if the double-underlines have dissappeared. Do not worry about disabling Add-On’s but if they are not the source you can enable them by following step 3. The add-ons that you will notice if left disabled are Shockwave, Flash, or Java since these are used to create the animation effects seen at different web-sites. There is a good chance that disabling some of these Add-ons will allow the Internet Browser to work faster. A word of caution; disabling a Phishing or Web-Site protection add-on that the Security Software you use may have added is not recommended.
On a final note the single underlined links are normally legitimate to the article so these will not dissappear even though the double-underlined links are disabled.
[If Double-Underlines are still seen at other web-sites, especially if using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome Internet Browsers, this indicates the web-site itself is using AD software to create these links. But you can still check via a Left-Click on Tools & Left-Click Add-ons for these Internet Browsers.]
