I noticed a while back that my browser started underlining text and offering suggestions on where I could purchase the item it underlined. Here's a pic: <br><img src="http://www.paulspage.net/images/Popup.jpg" border=1><br> I can live with it, but does anyone know how to stop it from doing this? <BR><BR>BTW...I have run Adaware, Spybot, and Norton Antivirus, and none of them have managed to take this off.

Aaah...I guess I should have noticed that it was only happening on this website. So, I take it this same thing happens to everyone here?

Am I, LOL! I just haven't noticed any words being underlined when I log on to PCStats. From Lazy's pic, it's pretty clear that it's a screenshot from this forum. I've never seen anything like that when I come here.

No, I'm using Netscape. I usually don't like to use IE unless a website is specialized for IE.
