I now have underlined blue words that take me to advertisements. Do any of you have this?

Yes. And I have had them for a very long time. Some of the ads are quite questionable. Some are things I might be interested in, but I've been told to NEVER click on ads like this as they are frequently scammers.

No, I don't do that. However, there was another "do you do this" post just before yours about typing out a comment just to shut down the comment without sending it. I just did that to my original comment to your post and replaced it with this one.

You might want to check your computer for adware. Double-underlinked ads are most likely injected by that.

I ran a couple of malware programs, and they found the typical junk. The underlining remained - on all sites. Today, it is gone!
