Unwanted hyperlinks!?!?!?!

[Don]

Is anyone else experiencing hyperlinks being added to your posts and in other peoples' posts?? It seems like words are being chosen at random and being turned into a "search" link

It's driving me nuts

Which posts are you experiencing this on?

It sounds like you may have some web browser plugin installed that changes the way you're seeing the posts.

Does this happen on other websites?

I'm not seeing this Don, can you include a link to a post where this has happened?

I talked to the wife, (she went to Arizona for a funeral last Wednesday) apparently she does an Ad/Spyware check daily. The husband is always the last to know

She had me run a scan from her name and I came up with over 430 'alerts' for Ad/Spyware. She told me how to get started, but said she would take over the clean out when she gets home tonight. It seems like I did something beause I don't seem to be gettng the mystery links...popups on the other hand...

I've seen this happen before. Its usually when you have some kind of funky tool bar that is trying to be helpful and highlighting key words on the page. If you click on them then it sends you to a search page giving you all kinds of results for that word. At least, that is what it sounds like you are experiencing. What happens when you click these random links?

Here are two great tools that are both free and get top ratings...
