On every website I visit, there are random words hyperlinked.....?

On every website I visit, there are random words hyperlinked throughout a site. I know that these hyperlinks are not put there by the website itself, but instead by a spyware. I have Zone Alarm (registered version) and have scanned my computer countless times for spyware and viruses on different settings...from deep scan to quick...and it picks up nothing... I've even gone to Trend Micro's online virus/spyware scan and it hasn't picked up anything either.. Do you happen to know of a good -free- online or downloadable spyware scan that would get rid of this annoying spyware? Thanks. :)

It's most likely the toolbar you are using(if there is one). Certain toolbars hyperlink words so you can click on them and they automatically search the word.

Try: SpyBot, it's good. from download.com



also download Y! toolbar, it has a free anti-spyware which I find powerful.
when you click on them, a definition will appear, or on some sites a new page about the subject, or advertisements about them.



Can you give an example of a site that does it?
AdAware is a great free download. Try it.
