Download Ad Aware and run it ASAP....looks like you've gotten ahold of some spyware.

Complaint about spyware? Why, it's one of the benefits of unrestrained capitalism! You should be giving thanks each time some form of spyware pops up on your screen!

Bowdown and worship the idol of Capitalism each time you see an underlined word! Any other action is purely socialist/communist in nature!

Every article I go to has various words or phrases underlined in brown and they link to ads. What is going on?

What are you talking about?

Sometimes I underline or bold text in stuff I post in order to highlight it.

That's SOP for many here on FR.

I have and it is clean until I come to FR. After I have been here for a few minutes, I have to go back clean it up again.
