Everytime I post the thing below gets added to the bottom! It seems to be getting added to my signature settings, I've removed it twice but it keeps coming back.

Cant see anything on google about it except other people's affected posts.

Testing...

Seems alright my end, I may have fixed it (i've had to go through my entire FTP space and clear out the modified files, so likelihood is I've missed some in the tekforums folders)

Sorry for the inconvenience folks  >:(

Still happening but its not just this site, happens on flicr, some forms etc. Very annoying.

I would run a virus scan on your machine and malwarebytes anti-malware perhaps, seems like you've picked up a virus or some form of intrusive malware.

If you don't have one installed this is online and good: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/uk/index.html

I'd say its a bho jobbo, what have you installed recently?

addictweb

Clear deep scans with updated Malwarebytes Anti-malware and Microsoft Security Essentials.

Racking my brains but I cant think of anything Ive installed recently, actually, just spotted CopyTransManager ipod manager freeware which I installed recently but that should be fairly reliable.


Will run house call now.

I would say its maybe something on your browser then, check if any rogue addons/toolbars have been installed. I had a client yesterday asking me why loads of websites had random words linking off to spam, he'd got some weird toolbar installed from somewhere causing it.

Sure I've seen this before, could be a browser ad-in.

Its a browser helper object (bho), check your addons.

Woop! A 'video downloader' had attached itself to my extensions, its now gone and no more signature line!

Thanks all!

Sorry, metal, if I'd known what bho meant I could have checked the first time you said it.
