All of a sudden I'm getting these again on this site. Underscored text that pops up an ad when you move your cursor over it. Some one told me how to get rid of these once but I can't remember what I did. Can you help?

Go to 'Tools'>'Extensions' and trash anything installed by a third party.

Get Mozilla and install adblock lite which is far better than adblock. You will never see an ad again.
