Please help me!!! getting unknown links embeded in my web browser
when browsing, my IE now has green hypertext links embeded in plain text...
these links are directing to http://209.200.10.92/cgi-bin/ezlckl.fcgi?id=480 (or others like 896,200,213)...
i've used my spyware cleaners and norton antivirus... but it won't clean this up...
i have no idea where this is coming from...
also i've been getting popups from this address http://209.200.10.90
i would love to have some help with this...

First off, i strongly sugust to stop using ie and switch to firefox (less security flaws for now). Next the more information you provide the easier it will be for others to help; operating system, and so on. Ok to the problem first make sure your uptodate with all the microsoft patches. Next if running Windows xp (just assuming this) turn off system restore, and boot up in safe mode (if not sure on how to do this do a quick search). Next run your scans again, i suggust using both spyware and adware (both free). If that doesn't work i used a program about a year ago called hijackthis, google this or ask for help on how to use it. Basically what it will do is log your running process, which you then past onto there websit or i think people even here will look at it for you. Like i said google it and read up for a better explanation. Hope this helps.
A quick google gave me this site for hijackthis http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/

<sarcasm> hey jamicach- post in a couple other forums areas, ok ? in case we miss the first ones. </sarcasm>
ok, enough of that. you know some sites do this automaticaly. It is their way of fitting more advertising into less space.

Some people like autoerotic asphyxiation, too. That doesn't mean it's good for them.
You asked for info, albeit in a poor netiquette fashion, and recieved some. Don't like the answer? Oh well.

You don't have spyware. It looks like someone is bringing back the
idea of smart tags
I thought that bad publicity had killed this evil idea years ago.
Lately I've been seeing these links too. They're not in the page content
but get inserted by the browser, when javascript is enabled.
I think there's a way to disable it. I'm researching it now.
If you Google "green hyperlinks", you'll see that it's being reported
by lots of people.
OK! Late breaking news. Here it is.

I guess it looks like people with servers opt in to this service, and it then adds
the mystery links to the page.
I came in to the world with nothing. I still have most of it.
