Oh wow that looks weird. Seems to me like some sort of unwanted extension or app on your web browser.

Quick question for you to see if I may be able to help out?


What internet browser do you use? (Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc)
* If you use Chrome, you can see added extension with this link: http://chrome://extensions/
* For Internet Explorer, you have to click on the GEAR shape in the top right corner and find "Manage Add-ons"

Those are the only two I have, sooo... ahh... I think most have something in the "settings" or "internet options" or other similar menus? ^^;




A lot of programs like that will attach themselves to other downloads. Like how Java always wants people to download the Ask toolbar... Forget to un-check the box that says "Yes! Install this crap on my PC! :D" and it sneaks itself right into your settings.



Hope this helps. And I definitely wouldn't put any personal information into something like that. .__. Good luck getting everything resolved, Alice!

i looked it up on interet what it my be, did what they told me to do to stop it. this did not help anything.
the only reson i nolonger have the links now is becaus i used my adblock to max potentiol it's blocking everything now and now those trage things are gone.
(not sure it is fixed but atleased no longer bodersome.) and i hope it stayes that way

This is nothing Sylestia related. That image icon isn't even something that's on our site so it definitely isn't being produced from Sylestia.

As was suggested, this must be some sort of extension or app that is taking control of html links.

I had this same bug a few months ago. It's not Sylestia related like Krin says, it's actually something attaches itself to your files. I don't remember the name of it, but in order to get rid of it entirely I had to go into my files and downloads and manually remove and then block it from reattaching. If you look it up you should be able to find a step-by-step walkthrough on how to get rid of it.

I'd like to know how this thing is acquired in the first place, so that we all can avoid stumbling across it...It looks so annoying; I don't want to have it.
