I guess there are folks who still think this stuff is cute to sneak onto people’s computers. Some will let you remove them from a control panel, others need to be rooted out via an antivirus program.

Never click on a blog. If you do, use protection.

The adware intercepts the html recived from a website and injects HTML hyperlinks into it so your browser renders them as if they originated on the site....

Nuke your computer from orbit, it is the only way to be sure..

Congrats, you have adware.
Browser Helper Object, yontoo, or other “helpful” malware/crapware.

here’s some ACTUAL help:

Download MalwareBytes.com and use it to run a full scan

Also Avast Anti-virus

they are both free for home use

Remain calm. Do not panic. You can fix this. Do you have MalwareBytes? Update and run it.

You will also want to look at add / remove programs to se if there is something installed that you do not want.
