Can I stop ads from appearing on my site?

[caysimpson]

I checked my website from another browser (PC with Vista) and noticed that
certain words were underlined and a different color. When the cursor moves
over them a pop-up ad appears. I did not authorize this and am wondering if
there is anything I can do to prevent this from happening. I use FP 2003 for
page editing. Any thoughts? My website is: www.butcherandassociates.com
THANKS!

Talk to your host for the site (I believe it would be
http://www.voyager.net). But I do not see this on your site. Can you point
me to a specific page, please?

Doesn't happen here in XP with either IE 7 or FireFox.

I would suspect that the "other" pc either has been infected with a browser helper object,
or that it has Yahoo toolbar or some other addin installed.

Thanks - I believe that Steve's comment about the Yahoo toolbar or browser
helper object is probably accurate. Our host is Intermedia - they are pretty
good at screening these things. I check my code often and have not noticed
anything out of line. The problem is not page specific so I do believe it is
the browser's issue.
