What's with the yellow link on certain key words? CYDOR-Resolved

[Texun]

I come here several times each week to catch up on what's hot and what's not. Tonight I noticed that while reading messages with certain phrases or words, the words or phrases light up yellow and have a link to an outside site. These are not the usual poster links. For eaxmple, the term "hard drive" shows up as a link.

I noticed this also at amdmb.com as well. Is this something new in this forum or is it an setting with winXP?

Thanks,
R

****UPDATE*****

Downloaded and ran Ad-Aware spyware removal and found CYDOR. It seems to have cleared up now. I regret the wasted space during my momentary state of panic. I was about 30 seconds from FORMAT C: /S

CYDOR was new to me. Perhaps this post won't be a total waste of bandwidth in case someone else enters and notices the same thing. For a moment I thought it was new advertising at amdmb, and thus the reson I didn't panic right away. I later found it here and went into a DEFCON 2 mode. I felt it should be investivgated.

I didn't copy any links because they were almost everywhere. The mention of "hard drive," "sound card," "internet," etc., would set it off.

Again.... I regret my hissy fit and the wasted space.

Anyone needing the ad aware spyware removal tool... get it at Lavasoft

How about linking to an example?
Words that are searched for, show up as yellow highlighted text, but not links.
