While reading posts today I noticed certain words like "hot, fat, truck, etc." were linked. I clicked on the link and it goes to some advertisement. Is this a new AF thing or do I have something wrong with my computer?

Links to where you've seen this happening?
I haven't see it happening so would like to see some examples.

It's gotta be my computer because I just clicked on Completely Off Topic and it took me to a porn site. Son of a bitch! I think it's that Trojan virus again.

It's your computer, I don't see a link in your posts.
You visit 'those' sites you deal with the consequences I guess.
You may want to consider Adaware for a start.

Thanks for your words of wisdom. :rolleyes:
I'll also tell all my roommates not to be bad boys because Freakray looks down on them.
No more help needed. You may now close this thread without explanation like the last one. :thefinger

Nice to see you left your sense of humor at the Dodge dealership ;)
Seriously, you need to get a spyware checker on your PC, if not more than one and run them once a week along with an up-to-date anti-virus, you'd be amazed what gets on your PC without you knowing.

Sorry bout the attitude, I was just a little ticked off last night. Coming home from work and finding my computer going down the drain because those bastards keep downloading Kazaa. <--- I know that's the damn program that's doing it.
I deleted Kazaa and associate programs, ran Adaware and a virus scan to no avail. Is Spyware different from Adware? Any recommendations on a good program to get rid of Spyware?

Try Spybot Search & Destroy.
It's a bit more thorough than adaware.
Also try password protecting your PC.
