hi is anyone else seeing weird links in posts. I keep going to posts and in the middle of sentences there are links on certain words like Money, Moneymaking, Love etc. and I thought it was a link so I folow it (click on it) and it comes to a cant find server page but has an ad address in address bar. Is anyone else seeing this??

I had the same problem recenly but we decided to reinstall the computer as it was riddled with spyware, so got rid of it that way. I think it was spyware (if I remember correctly) but we couldn't seem to get rid of it.
Sorry can't be more help

Hi Champs,
Yes, it sounds like it's something on your computer that you've inadvertenetly downloaded.

You could try downloading "Ad-Aware" from
here and run it on your computer. It finds and deletes spyware and other forms of "malware" as they call it.
