    Annoying Pin it caption


    I don't remember downloading any unwanted software and in fact I run Unchecky on all machines to make sure those awful bar things are not added when installing anything.

    However I have now got something on the machines that provoke a "Pin it" caption at top left of any pic of I hover over or pull up to view and I am not bale to remove it - anyone got any ideas please?

    Hi John,

    What browser(s) are you using ?
    Did you check the browser addons and extensions for anything new/unknown ?
    Can you post a screen print of what you see ?

    Did you look in Programs and Features, sort by Installed Date, to see if some program "updated/installed" you didn't expect ?

    Thanks David and Derek yes I must have downloaded something like Pinterest I seem to remember it in an email but isn't something I would be interested so cannot remember when or why I installed it. I'll try that remove link. I thought perhaps it was something to do with Windows 10 at first but it started appearing on email pics too.

    Oh and in that link there is a pic I snipped so it shows what I am getting and yes I am with Chrome.

    Edit Have found the settings and disabled that Pinit thing but I cannot remember just where it came up from but at least it is gone - thanks again :)
