Key word search links?

[DuWayne Steurer]

I've noticed the last few days there's certain words in the forums ("jobs", "insurance", "movies" to name a few) that are underlined in green, and if I click on them, it does a google search with that word as the keyword. Is this just me that's getting this, or is it a new thing for the site? I'm not complaining, I'm more or less just trying to find out if something got changed on my computer, settings-wise. I'm also getting a butt-load of pop-ups when I sign on as well.

Are you using IE on Windows? It's probably something like MS Smart Tags... likely some sort of adware/spyware. If you're on Windows, run Ad Aware (google search for the free download) and see what it comes up with.

 

Otherwise, not sure. Good luck.

I use I 6.0 on Windows ME and have not had any such links.

Thank you Bill! Problem solved.
