Periodically when I touch the screen to toggle down or pick a link, the screen shrinks and I get a blank screen to the right as if I'm multitasking but I'm not. What is the gesture I'm doing to cause this, how do I disable? Thanks

I tried the hot spot on my phone and there was no difference. I'm not sure if this covers what you are suggesting. Please forgive me if I keep harping on what these are but the nature of them simply being a box with a description of what ever I'm holding the cursor over just seems like come...

Unfortunately, no. I've noticed it on my laptop too. It's simply when I place the cursor on any link rather it be a picture, story, action, icon, app, so on, and a box appears with a description of what I'm placing the cursor on. It goes away on my laptop once I click on whatever the link is. On...

I did as you suggested and it reset the search provider and deleted some extensions in Chrome. It said nothing about IE. I guess it's wait and see if the "nagware" comes back. The log is below ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Junkware Removal Tool (JRT) by Thisisu...

My Surface didn't like the Junkware download, I clicked download anyway and Windows Defender wouldn't allow.

My DNS seems to be fine. BC had a topic link for that too. I'm using IE for browsing, sometime chrome and google for searching and all appears correct. I haven 't noticed the boxes in Photoshop or Sketch Pro and I think the boxes appear on both photos and links in my browsers. Java is the only...

Thanks for trying to help. I'll look at the DNS also. What would you call these boxes? They appear to be nothing more than harmless description info just annoying. What does hijacked mean? Is someone getting access to my computer? My router is my WOW CABLE. Box and none of my other computers...

Adware cleaner doesn't find anything in Explorer of Chrome. I almost think it has to do with HTML or CSS, but I'm no expert either.

the latest annoying prompt, link, description or whatever it's called I should add that I did click on the link to the story about this plane and even after I closed the article this was left

the only thing checked is "automatically detect settings" or something like that

latest annoying prompt, guess I should check out hot girls

I looked in programs and didn't see anything I didn't put there on purpose. It seems to happen in explorer and chrome. That's all I use. At the moment it's not happening as much as usual which seems to always happen when one "goes to the doctor". When it's bad I'll have 2 or 3 of them on the...

another example and not syncing to icloud

I'm not syncing to iCloud on purpose, I'll check that out. I'll post more prompts as I get them. Thanks

Malware Bytes found zero issues. I'm open to other ideas.

Thanks for your feedback. I have actually done a malware scan and found nothing of consequences. The prompt I showed you came up when I clicked on a link in AOL of some funny pictures that people have taken. They pop up on all kinds of innocent links. But I'll do another scan. Thanks.

Please help, I keep getting these annoying link description boxes. Sometimes there are 2 or 3 of them on my page that I'm trying to read. How do I get rid of them. I have googled this several times and tried many suggestion that I've found but nothing is working. Thanks for your help. Example is...

Hi All, New to the site but thought this would be the place to start to find an answer to my question; I do a lot of sketching and renderings on my SP3 and I would love it if the sketching "feel" was more "real". The Stylist slides on the glass instead of instead of "dragging" like a pencil on...
