Default Underlined Links in Web Pages

Hi all,

I recently noticed a whole lot of underlined links in every webpage I visit.
These are bogus links that just take me to some advertising site. Annoying
isn't the word for it.

I've done a little research and came to the conclusion that I have some sort
of adware or spyware on my computer. I ran Ad-Aware and it found several
critters, which it removed. But I could run Ad-Aware again a half hour
later, and it will find another one. According to Spybot, there are no more
spies on the computer, and according to Norton, there are no viruses. But
clearly there's something causing these annoying false links. I upgraded to
IE7 yesterday, naively thinking that would fix the problem, but it didn't.

I'd sure appreciate some help with this issue.

Thanks for your help.

Danno

I see you already posted to OE General, so I need not point you in that
direction.

The underlined links are an advertising feature that many web page
creators include to earn some money. You're not the only one who is
annoyed by them, but they are legitimate nontheless.
