You need do something about your FR homepage.

It is hard to believe spyware on his computer could mess up his home page on FR. He has this linked. 216.130.188.200 which is basically www3.bigtrafficnetwork.com Was that what he put in originally? Is that his site. Did he forget to pay his bill?

It is there. He needs to take those links down now. I clicked on them for the hell of it and I am lucky I have a crapload of security.

Actually, I didn't link in anything, I just typed text. I have no idea what happened, or how those links got there.

It is possible that I really am that clueless.

Not only does he have links to that odd site, the links are nested 3 deep: Perhaps as he prepared the text, he hit preview three times, and each time some malware in his browser modified what he had written to embed these keywords in that web link.

Nesting like that doesn't look like the handiwork of manual typing input. Rather it looks like a piece of stupid software did it.
