Spellchecker gone mad

Some time ago i have downloaded GINGER spellchecker, which worked on facebook and also on eBay listings. it was great to start with, as it avoided silly typos. But after while it started to highlight words that I had correct and more importantly, offering as an alternative word totally different. I was careful not to click on any of these hints, but I noticed that sometimes they ended up replacing the word anyway. When, while listing something on eBay, this spellchecker told me that I should substitute the word EXQUISITE with DESTROYED, I was not amused and just ignored it. I made my listing and fortunately went immediately back and sure enough, I have listed Destroyed Item! It took about 3x going back and changing the word, before it stopped automatically changing it. And naturally, I immediately uninstalled GINGER. Or so I thought. For a while it still continued to offer its unhelpful advice, and then just highlighted the words/sentences it does not like and says "sign up to Ginger". It does not come up anywhere, except in my eBay listings, and generally I manage to ignore the helpful hints. But today it started to play another game with me; I stated in my listing: COMES FROM NON SMOKING HOME , but Ginger never liked that expression, and today it would immediately jumble up the letter to something like COFROM NOKING HOMEMES ON SM. I had to re do that sentence about 10x, and everytime I thought it was right, once submitted, it went jumbled again.
Why is this spellchecker still in my eBay listings? Does it have anything to do with ebay? What can I do about it?

You could try removing it, then downloading it again, if you still want to use it. It might be corrupted or need an update...

Google how to remove it from your system...it is different for different setups.
