How to remove Google Chrome add-ware [HELP]
Lately on Google Chrome, there's been random words (on most websites) that have been converted to links. When I go to these links, it makes an add pop-up and they are very annoying... Does anyone know how to remove these adds?

Google Dictionary, I think that's what is doing it.
It's taking words it recognizes and making them clickable for the definition.
If not then look in your Installed Programs in Windows Control Panel.

I don't think that it's my dictionary. It's not giving me definitions to words, it's linking me to adds...
I'll try looking in my control panel. ---

Try disabling all your add-ons then close your browser then reopen it. If that doesn't work then its something downloaded and installed in your Windows Programs.
[EDIT] Also, I use Google Chrome and I have no add-ons what so ever and it doesn't do that at all.
