I think that I have picked up some sort of bit of ad-aware or scum
ware. The last time I did a restart I found a bunch of commercial
shortcuts on my desktop and now every time I run IE 6 I find words and
parts of words on the web pages I visit have become hyper links.
For example in an article containing the word "publication" the "cat"
part of that word is a hyper link. The mouse-over message is "Best
cat" and the status bar message is "Sponsored link". The link itself
takes on to something called
http://toolbar.desktoptraffic.net/cgi-bin//ezlclk.fcgi?id=100 I think
that some of the links put a new shortcut to commercial sites on the
desktop. This is not just on one site but lots and lots of ones and
it all started at once.
I have run ad-aware and CW shredder and it has not fixed it. I think
that some sort of program has somehow changed IE 6. Perhaps I need to
somehow reinstall it. Any thoughts on this problem?
