Hi everyone! Now I have a small problem about my computer. Today, when I opened my computer and put my mouse cursor on any images in any pages, there are a line of words "send the image to your mobile phone". Then, I know maybe yesterday when I browesed the internet, some program is installed into my computer. So, I operned my control panel to check but I didn't find it. Please, who can tell me how to delete it? Thanks a lot.

Hi felixren,

Yes, it sounds like you may have unknowlingly downloaded a program that is causing this.

Consider using Spybot Search and Destroy and/or Adaware to find, identify and remove the unwanted agent.

You could also use the new Microsoft AntiSpyware software. It's a little less 'third party' if your using windows...

Sounds like some kind of adware. I suggest you download a free program such as

Spybot - Search and Destroy [safer-networking.org]

This should help

[EDIT] Sorry someone beat me to it!

Just a though but do you have any form of mobile phone uplink software installed? You may have activated something that was previously not in effect?

But as the other posters have pointed out it does seam quite likely to be adware or spyware related.

Also, download HijackThis and take a look in your registry, see if anything looks suspicious.
