Solved Annoying Pin it caption

[ICIT2LOL]

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 ?

It's probably a pinterest add-on in chrome,

Stop the Pinterest "Pin It" button appearing on images in Chrome? - Ask Dave Taylor

He said something about more pop ups over here too,

Start, Taskbar, and Action Center Color - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Page 4 - Windows 10 Forums

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
