Is anyone else seeing hyperlinks in various posts in the forum that link to ad banners/sites?

This has been going on for me for a few days now. Some of them are my posts, but most are posts by others and I don't see it anywhere else that I go on the internet.

1. Check browser addons/extensions to see if one of them could be doing it.
2. Recent software may of been installed that does it. Look around for that.
3. Run a malware scanner.

I had the same problem David's dealing with and it was because of a recent Firefox add-on.

Thanks Tupp. Looks like that's what it was.

Probably from some shit Mid secretly sent to my computer.

Sometimes unwanted links on keywords can be spyware or malware on your computer.

Notice the links usually lead to gambling and other shady deals.

Run a good system cleaner like Advanced System Care , Malware Cleaners, etc.

If that does not remove them, try running a Boot Time Scan with a good A/V Software like Avast.
Some A/V software suites dont do Boot Time Scans and thats the best way to remove pesky softwares that loads with Windows, thus being hard to remove while loaded in memory.
