I've noticed in the last couple minutes 2 seperate messages with links embeded in the text. One was in one of my posts-- I went to the edit screen for that message and the link wasn't there, so I went back to the message and it was gone.

The 2nd one was in another thread and I moused over it so you can see the link on the status bar-- they both had the same address.

I'm not sure if this is just on my computer or if its a problem with this site. Here is a screenshot I took of it the 2nd one I found.

Can everyone keep on the look out for this and post back here if you see one.

Thanks,

Spuds

I would say it's on your computer Spuds. I haven't noticed this (and this is something I would notice), and I didn't see it in your post above.
 
Must be a problem on Spuds' end. I used to have a few things mess up on GTP, and sometimes was unable to connect to the site, when other people were perfectly fine. I bet this will go away quickly.
 
Its my computer alright, I just found 2 more links in messages at another board-- I'm actually at work right now, its not my PC and there is definitely spyware on this computer....sorry for wasting everyones time--- you can let this message drop.

And before you tell me to download spybot (and friends)-- I don't have admin privilidges on this PC so I can't install anything here.

Thanks for checking everyone.

Yeah no problem. So the Spyware is putting a link in random places for you to click on and get the virus? That's probably an obvious statement, but don't point that out. :lol:
 
To me it looked like it searched all the text in the browser and linked keywords to search results...
 
No and the following other words get linked also-- its on any site I visit.

Anal, Travel, Business, Bed, I know there are other but I can't remembre them now
 
Thanks, but if you read the entire thread you will know I can't install that.

You should discuss this immediately with the administrator of the PC.
 
This is sort of like what I want to have built into the forums. Sure would be neat if it were oriented toward Gran Turismo ...
 
Isn't that Microsoft's "Smart Tags" thingie? I think you can turn it off in IE. Anyway, the easy fix (for Jordan) is to just add this to the head of every page:
Code: 
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="true" />
I always do that, because those hideous things always mess up sites.
