Double Underline Green hyperlinks

For the past week I've been getting lots of Double Underline Green hyperlinks within text when I browse in Safari. When I rollover the text, ads pop up. How can I remove this?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5), Safari 6.1.3

Go to Safari / Preferences / Privacy and click on Remove All Website Data.


Still in Safari / Preferences, click Security, check the box for Block pop-up windows.


Finally, still in Safari / Preferences, click Extensions and delete anyting you did not yourself install.


Now, still with Safari running, type command, option and E - all three keys together.

In addition to those, which seem to have disappeared after running the suggestions posted here, I all of a sudden have a banner ad on my Google.ca search page that only appeared today -- along with the double gree links.


How can I search my computer for viruses? I downloaded an app called mPlayerX. I know that has caused the infection. How do I delete all files associated with it?

Did you find a fix for this yet? I have the same exact problem and not sure what to d; it's pretty frustrating.

I downloaded the app called mPlayerX as well and started having this problem. I thought I deleted it, but am still getting the double underlined green hyperlinks and pop-up ads.

So annoying! Does anyone know how to get rid of this??
