This sounds like a virus , not from lowcarber.org.

Here's one of our smilies ---> .. Right-click on it; there will be a menu pop-up .. click "open image in new tab" or similar, depending on your browser. If you then look at the image in the new tab, you can see the address bar at the top will be https://forum.lowcarber.org/images/smilies/smile.gif.

Try right-clicking one of those rogue emojis next time you see one. Maybe you can find out what site they're coming from


hope that helps,
