Hi...I'm at my wits end with this...
within the last two months, every website I see has certain keywords
turned into hyperlinks. Every occurance of these words gets turned in
to a hyperlink: "books" links to amazon.com, "intel" to intel.com,
"visa" to visa.com. It's really annoying and frustrating.
Pages also take a long time to completely load. The status bar says
Done, but the status indicator (the little green bar that goes accoss
as the page loads) stays at 100% and the browser freezes for 10 - 20
seconds before finally loading and allowing me to click on links.
Every link I click on does the same thing. Pressing the Back button
produces another long wait. The more intensive the page, the longer
the waits. Some times java intensive pages will generate alot of
errors. These pages work fine on my laptop.
this must be some kind of spyware, but niether antivius, or Ad-Aware
and Spybot detect anything. I don't have any pop-ups, or any other
system problems.
Any ideas? I've reinstalled windows (doing a repair install, cant
face backing up and reinstalling almost 100BG of apps....yet) This did
nothing to fis the problem, neither did installing XP SP2. And don't
just tell me to use Netscape, I hate Netscape. )
Thanks for any suggestions!
