Laurel 0 #1 January 5, 2004 Can anyone tell me when they started this highlighting of words in text stuff? For instance, I type the word travel in this thread and at some point the word "travel" will end up underlined in yellow which makes it a hotlink for an advertisement. If I move my cursor over the word, it highlights it in yellow and gives me a brief ad message. How can advertisers be authorized to do this when they haven't paid for the ad space on this site?.....................................................................

souleh 0 #2 January 5, 2004 It's some spyware/adware on your PC. There was a post a while ago about it.. if Ivan's about I'm sure he'll dig it up. In the meantime, try out AdAware, it's a removal tool - http://www.webattack.com/get/adaware.shtml 'buttplugs? where?' - geno Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
