When using Firefox, it does not happen on Internet Explorer, certain words are treated as a link, double underlined in blue, and if you click on the underlined word, they link to a website that is advertising a product. I think this is an advertising ploy, and I don't know what is on my computer that is making these words in the text show up as a link.

You can look at Adblock Plus:

You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).


IntelliTXT and Kontera are some of the commonly encountered of such sites.

Yes, this happens when I go onto the Care2 site, is this caused by Firefox as I notice this on the Fire Fox home page: It Appears like this:

Firefox's default home page has quick links to common features Table of Contents When you first start Firefox, click the home button or create a new window you're greeted with the default home page. This page contains a handy Google search and quick links to downloads, bookmarks, history, add-ons, sync and settings. Also, if you had tabs open the last time you used Firefox you can restore them from the home page with a single click.

The word restore is underlined twice and in blue (it does not show up here when I copied and paste) and it takes me to a web storage site. Where do these sites come from, it FF hacked, or Care2 hacked, how are these appearing in comments that I just typed on a forum or in articles on the forum?
