Title: Weird link problem....
Post by: patapouf on May 25, 2005, 22:04:06
There is a weird link appearing when i write ''"past-present-future''. What is that? :?

But it does not appear if i spell it ''past-present-futre'' but still do it if I change it to past,present and future. I did not want to add such link and had to delete my post. Well, I will write it with the word ''futre'' in it so this weird link won't appear, try it for yourself and tell me if it does the same thing with you....

Take care,

past-present-future

past present future

I don't see the link, but maybe I did it wrong o.O

You could have some kind of spyware on your comp that changes certain phrases to links. I've had programs like that add themselves before. Why it would make a hyperlink out of 'past-present-future', I have no idea.

So that's what it was?

If you don't have a program for scanning for spyware yet, you can get Ad-Aware here (http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html?part=69274&subj=dlpage&tag=button). It should tell you if you have any spyware or not, and help you get rid of it.

But I know it doesn't work perfectly, because I've had some kind of virus/spyware combo on my comp for a while now, and it somehow respawns itself in my temporary internet files folder and fixes itself and I can't get rid of the little bastard no matter what I do. x.x But ah well.... I've blocked all the harmful programs it's downloaded from my registry at least. :)

Yeah, damn spyware like you said. Norton scanned and found out what was the problem but ''Norton'' was probably ''sleeping'' while it was being installed on my comp. It is just surpring that it is being incorporated like this in the forum!

Thanks again,

Take care,
