Over the last few days Ive noticed certain words in everybodys posts are high lighted! witch then directs me to some site selling shit

Is this something Ive installed on my computer or is everybody getting them?
or is it some sort of advertising that the site is promoting? if so i would like to start a campaign to get it removed because it is bloody annoying

---

As an example the words "computer" and "start" in my previous post are high lighted on my screen.

Please help!!!

Sounds like Malware. I'm not having those issues on my computer, but a bit of Malware on your rig will turn every site into an advertising nightmare.

Run a virus checker/spyware/malware program.

Nothing like that when I'm using the forums.... Computer.

Thanks guys, i think Ive cracked it

I installed winrar over the weekend, i think that had something to do with it

[gothic-chocobo]

Hmmm...? Winrar shouldn't do that? I usually use 7zip for those files.

sounds like you might have downloaded a bit more than you bargained for there, Pedro.

Probably best to run a virus scan anyway.

Which is pretty handy actually, as "virus scan" is probably highlighted on his screen to redirect him to one.
