I'm kinda new to windows 8. Its good so far but I have a few problems. One is that every time I click to a new page, it tries to redirect me to an advertising page or a random ad will pop up in the middle of my screen. That I can deal with but this next issue is a real problem for me. Some words on a page get highlighted in blue like its hyperlinked and its also got a double underline beneath it. Each of these blue highlighted words bring up an advertisement (usually a job advertisement) when the word is scrolled over or clicked. Sometimes these words are in a link and I cant click the link then. Do you windows 8 pros know of a way to stop these things or have these issues yourself?

Glad I'm not the only one. I have an aunt and grandparents with windows 8 and this never happened to them.
