Subject: How do I?

Written By: adagio on 07/01/04 at 6:46 pm

How do I, on the parody page, make some words in yellow that give definitions when I click on them?

Pat, you've picked up a nasty bit of spyware/adware/scumware that's hijacking your browser.  The yellow words you see are keywords purchased from the scumware people by slimy advertisers.  Chances are that Chucky's affiliate code is also being replaced by theirs, so that if you click on Chucky's ads, the scumware folks get the credit for it.  It was probably bundled with something you installed on purpose.   If you have ad-aware, run it.  If you don't have ad-aware, get it.   This isn't something you want on your machine.

  Thanks, MooRocca.  I'm running it as I post.  I hesitated running it because I had a bad experience (it got rid of too many files) with it last time, but everybody still recommends it, so...

I couldn't remember the name of that scumware, last night.  Remembered this morning and went out to find you a page that'll tell you how to clean it, manually, in case you have any trouble with ad-aware getting it off or you just want to double check that ad-aware was thorough enough to keep it from coming back.  (I'm assuming this is the right one, because of the yellow text.)
