My exact same issue has already been addressed but unfortunately the solutions didn't work for me so I'm trying again. I'm going to try to be as detailed as possible, so I'm going to break down my issue into several categories: My System • MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) • Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 • Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 • Storage: 249.77 GB • Operating System: OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11.4 The Problem • Timeframe: This problem has persisted for about 15 hours or so; I didn't notice it last night so I think it happened this morning, but I'm not 100% sure so I'm being generous with the timeframe.

• In both Chrome and Safari (the two browsers I have installed), some kind of malware is inserting hyperlinks on specific words that link to adverts. Every single advert is linked with the url s.igmhb.com. The hyperlinked words become all-cap, bold and italic with a green arrow to the upper right of each hyperlinked word. Oddly, it doesn't seem to affect all webpages, only a few. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to which sites it affects. • I haven't installed or downloaded anything suspicious or out of the ordinary, so I have no idea where this is coming from.

What I've Done So Far • I immediately checked for any suspicious Chrome extensions because that's usually what the issue is, but couldn't find anything. Then I went to Safari to see if it was also affected, which it is. That means that it's probably something that's in my system, not just in a browser.

Unfortunately, the problem is still persisting.
