Why are some words in my posts automatically turned into spam-ish links?

[sirgonzo420]

Well?

[JohnQPublic]

Well?

Example? I have no such software installed. Are you cutting and pasting from other sites? Those links follow unless you strip them.

Of course now I'm having trouble finding examples... but I have seen several words turned into links which display something when you mouse-over them.

the word "silver" does it in Hitcher's signature line.

In my post here: http://gold-silver.us/forum/showthread.php?70166-Tools-to-Help-Eliminate-or-Mitigate-Spying-and-Snooping&p=639219&viewfull=1#post639219 in the part where I quote from bitmessage.org only the words "protocol" and "whitepaper" were linked, and they pointed back to links at bitmessage.org, but when I pasted it here, the word "certificate" is doing the same thing that the word "silver" is doing in Hitcher's signature line.

Maybe I'm just completely nuts... that is a possibility I must keep in consideration.

You being nuts is worthy of a new thread! ;D

this happened too me once and I traced my problem to accidentally downloading Babylon



I mean many words had links until it got insane.

That doesn't surprise me at all, of course I have no idea what Babylon is in this context...

Its a horrible thing that is very difficult to get rid of and can come attached to something

sounds like a trojan as per previous posts. Could be "clickthroughandsave" or any number of others. Some are real b@#tards to get rid of.

Do not use your credit card on line and you should monitor your cards activity closely now if you even suspect a little bit that you may have used the card since becoming infected. I'd recommend malwarebytes to try and identify it, spy bot search and destroy to have a second go at it and see what is left from there. If you have windows recovery turned on, turn this off when you are about to hit the "clean" button on any of those cleaning programs.

Good luck.

Well I am not seeming to have the issue here on another computer.

I guess I have some malware or something. At first I thought it might have been GSUS, but now I think it's my other computer.

Or the NSA messing with me.

Look at you Mr. Fancy Pants. You got the NSA on your derriere. Tell them all hi from the board. :D

If you do copy and paste from another site with embedded links, a good way to get rid of them is to paste everything into a notepad window, then copy from notepad into the forum. That strips it of all formatting, even font size, type and color.

I got caught with something that kept throwing up popup ads and I thought it was coming from here. Was the only place I could see it happening. Turns out was my end.

I'm not seeing all the links, perhaps it's just in your PC when you post?

Apparently a flash plug-in in my browser was the culprit. The behavior stopped after I disabled the plug-in.

He won't be needing the Trojan now since he disabled the plug-in...
