the new double underlining of words/phrases? I don't like it. It automatically provides a link to a different website. Make it go away

Huh?

Huh?

I've noticed on a thread I posted on and several that I have read this evening, there is a doulble underline beneath certain words or phrases and when your cursor goes over these word, its a link to another web site. Lord please don't tell me this is only on MY computer. I've only noticed it within that last hour or so.

I had that happen one time and my computer was infected with some kind of virus and spyware.

I know what you are talking about. Some sites with forums have an automatic system where "key words" are automatically utilized for advertising purposes. I don't mind them. It sure beats having a popup window or a random ad within the forum.

ran a quick scan and it found 67 breaches. I had just downloaded Limewire to do file share for songs. I have uninstalled just now and one of the breaches my scan found was called "hyperlink". I've quarentined everything and cleaned the computer. Hopefully this will take care of it. Thanks for your help.

Yup, I had that happen once and I had to run Adaware and Spybot to get rid of it. Nasty computer stuff!
