I have noticed lately that some words used in remarks are turned into links. For instance, "flowers". I just commented on a photograph of some flowers and everybody that mentioned flowers in their comments, the word flowers, is now a link to flowers on Amazon.com. Was wondering what might be causing this to happen.
@myautofocuslife@opalcat - I have scanned it with McAfee and it found nothing. I then scanned with Malwarebytes and it found a PDF program I downloaded. I deleted that and rescanned and it says I am clean. Then I scanned with SuperAntiSypware and it found some cookies which I deleted rebooted and I can still see the links.
@skipt07 I've been having the same problem, Skip, and no matter how many times I scan and delete, it stays there. It is annoying beyond belief! I have tried various options, but nothing has worked so far. Good luck - and if you find a solution please let me know.
@kwiksilver - I found it! I use Foxfire so I am not sure if some of these instructions will work for you if you use another browser. I placed my mouse over one of the links that are appearing and a little window open in the bottom left corner of the Firefox browser and I saw in the name of the link "sandori". I use a program called, Revo Uninstaller, but you can look in your Control Panel/Programs and features in Win7. Sure enough there was an icon with Sandori underneath it. The icon looks like a compass. I deleted sandori and the links are now gone. I hope this works for you too.

I followed the advice in http://365project.org/discuss/general/12920/what-is-all-this-advertisement-about (mentioned above as well) but still haven't managed to get rid of it.
