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 my surface it often does not go away and becomes annoying. I think it's a Microsoft issue and that my computers are virus, malware, and spyware free. I just can't find out what I need to disable/turn off in windows 8. I've googled this many times and found similar subjects that I have disabled hoping this would do it but no such luck.
