micki there used to be a program out there that would underline certain words on a page, it was a form of spyware, It picks up on words that will take you to nothing but spam.

It doesn't sound like a virus, it does sound like spyware though, you have to really watch about some of the programs you install from the internet or you will pick up this spyware, Gator and different one are just spyware, the old Kazaa had a lot of spyware. You should go into your control panel, and see if there is something you have recently installed or lately whatever the case it may be.

Need to install a good spyware detector that will seach out these hidden programs and nuke them. I used spybot, found out gator had got on mine,somehow. I nuked that little sucker. I just wish I could remember what the name of that spyware was that would do the exact same thing.

I guess thats why I like to go through my whole computer and reinstall everything once in awhile, start from scratch, start all over again, I haven't done that in about a year though.

But it does sound like spyware, you have picked up somewhere.
