The double-underlined "Sponsored Links" on webpages -- Adware or not?

I don't remember these links being around for long, but I've been noticing them lately. They're quite annoying, but I can't figure out if they are on each website or if I have some sort of Adware which is putting them on different sites. I have Adware 6.0 installed and have run it several times, but the links are still present.

Anyone know? I did a search, but couldn't find anything.
 
Typically it's website based, although it is possible to get it in the form of spyware, so it could be either. I know that's not much help... usually with spyware it affects all sites though, not just certain ones.
 
Ok, I'm fairly confident that I don't have adware/spyware at this point so I'll chalk it up to site-specific links. Thanks.
 
You know what's funny GtprojectX... I don't have any underlined links. I know what you're talking about, and I usually have it, but I don't see an ad there. Running Firefox 1.0PR with Proxify (like Proximitron), and no Adblock...

you don't see this? try it in IE and see if the script if is just custom for it.
