Default Links in posts ???

I don't know if I have a virus, or what, but are other people seeing links for text in posts, that were not put in by the poster?

I made a post, and when I went back to see a followup, there was a link in the test I wrote, and when I checked it, it went to ebay! And worse than that, it was for something completely irrelevant!

I'm seeing these same types of links in more posts, most seem to be going to a site called 'vigilink' (or something like that).

What's the deal? Is this something CF put in to make some cash? All I can say is that it's VERY annoying!

I am a computer guy and this is not uncommon for it to happen if you have some sort of malware or adware add on installed in your browser with that thought I will point you to a site to that will remove this type of problem. When installing this freeware do not install the Tea Timer and SDTimer add ons under perminent protection because it will slow your computer down. Uncheck these two boxes then run the Spybot on your PC. It will take about 20 to 30 minutes and clean up anything that is not supposed to be there.
