Post by petermcleland »

Has anyone found a way to stop this pest from putting underlined words in our posts which convert them to pointers?

You can stop the addon from running in the browser Peter.
There are instructions on Nortons' forums to uninstall tidy network.

Well, touching wood, following the long article, I seem to have removed it :)

It was not in my list for Program Removal from Control Panel but I did find it in the Google Chrome Add-ons and binned it there. It was not in IE or Firefox.

pleased to hear it Peter. These things can be infuriating, and troublesome to remove. Its always nice when normal service is resumed. :)
