Is anyone seeing green words in threads?
Is this something new or is my computer sick?

7. Sounds like MS net hard at work
Are you browsing with Internet Explorer? You are probably in the MS Net framework... it allows for key words on any page to become pseudo-links (without the page owner's permission -- which has a great deal of us webby types pissed off)

12. Run that spyware protection
:) It should be okay after it is cleaned.

AdAware has a free version and it works really well.

8. Check for spyware
That happened to me once and it was some type of spyware that wound up hot-linking "keywords".

Try Ad-Aware or Spybot if you don't already have them.
