How to Eliminate Annoying Hyperlinks on Web Pages

WHAT ARE

THESE

DOUBLE

UNDERLINED

WORDS?

HAS MY

COMPUTER

BEEN HACKED?

Here’s what you do:

Click on the question mark and

OPT OUT MANUALLY

See example next slide.

It’s a small question mark – see it in the corner above?

WHEW!

But what is it?

Commonly called in-text

advertising.

The double-underlined word is a keyword embedded within text

of a website.

Examples of the advertising

networks that provide this

service:

• Vibrant

• Text Enhance

• Kontera

You will only see the ads

when you hover over double

hyperlinked keywords. Hard

to ignore them.

Once you hover, the widget

will appear.

But I don’t remember opting in??

Either the website you are visiting offers this

service or …

Then you probably didn’t….

…there is a piece of software on your

computer that has decided to graciously offer

you this service.

Then you probably didn’t….

Say “no thanks” and opt out!
