Text-Enhance

[Ray Trace]

I have a stupid-ass extension spam thing called Text-Enhance that links some words such as "start", "password", "play" and other words into spammy websites. I tried removing it by trying to find it in extensions, but I can't find it. I also uninstalled some suspicious programs, no luck, this annoying thing still shows up.

Does anyone else encounter this POS?

It might be a default for your web browser.

It's not a default if it's mostly bunch of adware

Tried it and it worked. Apparently, the underlined linked text is gone after I uninstalled some programs I don't recall ever installing or needing. It's very tricky and it can disguise itself as some things. How did it even get into my computer in the first place...it's not like I venture far from the sites I normally go to...
