Just today I started getting Hyperlinks on some of the words in every post.

Is this normal?

I have no idea where the hyperlinks take me, I'm afraid to click on them.

It is a 3rd party application that was installed on your computer....usually gets installed by a site you have visited. There are several of them but I had one a while back but I can't remember the name. Just go to Add/Remove programs and sort by date installed and you should be able to narrow it down that way. Then remove it.

Ohhhh...PlaySushi was the name of the app. Gabe was playing Diego games and that is the app that did it.

I just checked, the last thing installed on our computer was on 7/12 and it was for Microsoft Office.

It's an add-on of some sort whether it be from Microsoft, Firefox or a third party site.

If you click on the links they usually take you to a web search of some sort. It might be worth it to click on one to see where it takes you which might help you figure out how to remove them.

Check your Options in Firefox. See if there's a setting somewhere for the hyperlinks. Have you updated Firefox lately? Do you use an additional toolbar (like Yahoo or AVG)? That could be the cause.

If you hover over it, you should receive a "pop up" and that may be able to tell you the app...but it is definitely a game/toolbar of some sort. Also, when you are in add/remove programs, there is an option to see different apps and exclude microsoft. You could always search the registry for installed apps....

Its in My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Win dows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
