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.

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.
