What's with the adverts on some words, they are underlined randomly and if you hover over them an advert comes up. Any ideas anybody?

That has nothing to do with torn. Its some sort of malaware. Just get Advanced System Care of something of the sort, and run it. Should solve your issue.
Edit: www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html Advanced System Care
pt.malwarebytes.org/ Malwarebytes
www.piritorncityccleaner CCleaner
These 3 are rather safe to use by someone who has no clue on what their doing.

Well there is always a way to get rid of it... Usualy just ending the process and then renaming the dll files of the installed malware does the trick, but that, i would only sugest if you know what you are doing.

ah...i see what you mean, i don't have it anywhere in my computer, i put my antiviruses to search for it and i also searched it myself...and i can't seem to find it. Neither the extensions of google chrome as i looked. It only started a few days ago so i'm thinking its getting through chrome...because it also displays on facebook and other websites as well.

Well if you know when it started then go to your "C:Program Files" set it to order by last modified and check if anything pops up there, if not you should also try "C:Windows", but again, please do not touch anything if you dont know what your doing in "C:Windows"...
Last case cenario, go to www.lavasoft.com/ and download Ad-aware. I'm 99% sure it removed that malware, but it sometimes gets carried away and also "cleans" some system files, so not my first choice in malware cleaners.

Well start by reading this botcrawl.com/how-to-remove-text-enhance/. I think it covers most of the possibilities, so you should find a solution there.

^ different adware, although they may appear to do the same/similar thing/s are removed in different ways. It's good that the OP made mention of the specific one they have
