so now it seems that the "powers that be" have incorporated a new sponcer.  another way to get money from a group of guys that just want to talk politics, religion, and sometimes motorcycles.

the blue lettering that highlights certain words, HOPING you'll buy thier product, then the'll give the club just a few pennies for the add.

i can't stand it.  don't want to have to avoid where my little arrow moves on my screen.

there, had to say it. (i think it's funny that stanley steamer name turns blue!!)

No blue here either.

Sounds more like "your" browser has succumbed to a possible non-malicious malware or adware infection.

Try the free version of Malwarebytes

http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free

Or your anti virus program or even Microsoft Security Essentials.

If ya got it...Malwarebytes will probably flush your problems down the drain. What ever it is, is probably not malicious, but then again...

It may not actually be gone. Don't be surprised if it pops back up.

If it does run the Malwarebytes I posted and this one too: http://download.cnet.com/Ad-Aware-Free-Internet-Security/3000-8022_4-10045910.html

I'm getting to the point where I'll let someone ride my Valk, but not ride my computer.

Big however... this is not a virus. It's a trojan and can easily be prevented by following a simple procedure and turning off an option in Safari. Apple has already announced a fix to be released shortly.

There's about a thousand worlds separating all the windows aggravation and this one Mac trojan.
