on this site only. Don't know where it came from though.

Can you explain what "Text Enhance" advertising is, please?

(37,364 posts)4. A word in the text becomes a hyper link and if you
put the cursor on it you get a pop up window with advertising in it. I don't know how to get rid of it and the only place I visit that I get it is DU.

commonly caused by malware on your own computer. It might be worth your while to do a scan with Malware Bytes or something similar if you're seeing this. I'm not seeing it on mine, but then, I'm a star member, so I might not if it's originating from DU.

Check for unknown browser addons or toolbars.

If you have a different internet browser try doing a search for the name of the browser you use and "remove enhanced.com adware"
Good luck!
