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

You are dumb... You got a form of spyware on your computer that will do that to virtually every website that you go to... It's not just on free republic... You can try to get rid of it with ad aware but it's not 100% reliable...

That does sound like Ad ware, but it's not FR doing it. You should download AD-AWARE and run it. Sounds like you may have something, but I don't think you picked it up here.

You've been infected. Clean up that PC. Do a search on FR for the word 'spyware' or search through the chat section for various threads that have copius links to freeware to do the job for you.

Sounds like you got nailed by spyware somewhere -- I'd suggest Ad Aware, Hijack This, or Spybot-Search and Destroy

Download Ad-Aware from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

If you're using Microsoft Internet Explorer, STOP. Try:

Mozilla or Firefox from Mozilla.org

And/or:
Off By One

I very much doubt the problem is with Free Republic.
