i just cant take it any more!!

Man, oh man, oh man! I am currently being invaded by some program on my computer that takes certain keywords from a site and turns them into a link!! take a look:



does anybody know if there is a way to get rid of this nusance??!!?!?!

please help, or ill go bald from pulling all of my hair out!!

What have you installed lately? Just uninstall every little dinky unecessary program until it goes away.

ok, i figured it out. a minute after i posted, i got curious and clicked the link and it was something like eZula.com/kaZaa/yadaydayadayda.., so i found a eZula program and uninstalled it and i think the problem is gone!! yeah!!

What was it for, a dictionary or something????

Yeah, it's part of program that you downloaded. It's part of the wave of shady advertisers doing everything they can to make a buck. The company that makes the software sells those keywords to companies. I was reading in PC Mag about it, and how it covers up REAL hyperlinks so that you cannot navigate web sites. Windows XP was going to implement a feature like that, but thank the good Lord above, they scrapped it before they released it.

thank god for Mac. Next thing will be like 1 frame gifs of porn in front of us when we browse, just like Fight Club. Well, it would most likely be of Coke or something. Coke actually did do that with CNN or something, during their programs, they flashed a bottle of ice cold Coke in front of everyone. Sales went through the root, and then the Government found out...

The software exists on a Mac also Cy

Hey Hey, looky what I found:
