The Yellow lines that tell me to buy them

WTF? All over the net there are select words underlined in yellow that link to ads related to the word. They're even on the DAC forums. Are these ads authorized by the webmasters? Or are they just on my browser?

EDIT:So they're just on my browser. Thx ppl, once again the DAC community has proven helpful and informative, cept for you guardian.

Sounds like you clicked "Yes" for some auto-download thing on either a free hosting site, a porn site, or one of those bastard sites that marks itself as a bookmark when you end up there through a popup...

Get "spy-bot: search and destroy"

It's an amazing free spyware killer, and plus it immunizes!

I got it, I've had it for about five months, it's great. A good thing to do would be using it with Adaware also.

I got ad-aware, it got rid of it. What's a good Firewall oh great and knowledgable DAC members?

ZAP works great for me....I actually aid-pay for it, though....My only problem is that the "stealth" mode doesn't appear to be all that stealthy...Maybe I just misunderstand what it's supposed to do...I dunno.
