problemo with IE and ads
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Ok, from what people are telling me my problem deals with 3rd party software. My problem: on IE certain words get underlined with an annoying thick orange line, and i can click on the word and go to a page selling that word. (For example The word VCR brings you to a site that sells...you guessed it...VCRs, or a not common word like erroneous brings you to a dictionary site to look it up) I want to know if any of you know what programs do this, and how to get rid of it. I suspect possible kazaa or limewire, maybe winamp, i dunno, any clues?

Sounds like spyware to me.
Click here and download Ad-Aware.
This will find and remove all spyware from your system.

Sounds like you may have installed "webHancer agent," I forget if it comes with kazaa or real player, but either way you're screwed. Maybe AdAware can deal with it.
