Jimgrms asked about those pesky underlined words, that when your mouse passes over them, it pops up an ad. Here's what they are...from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IntelliTXT
First, disable javascript in your browser. That solution works, but it also sucks, because a lot of web page features are also disabled.
With IE, try adding the following entry to your restricted sites list in the options for security settings:
For me, I use Firefox, and have settled on http://adblockplus.org/en/ Download it, install it, and add *intellitxt.com and *.kontera.com as two of the blocked sites. Adblock is an add-in to your browser, and it does a GREAT job of stopping a lot of annoying junk. Those little green underlines will never show up again. But the best thing, is that when you use it to block a site, the ad no longer tries to load before you can view the web page. In other words, the web page loads a LOT faster.
IntelliTXT is an "in-text" advertisement platform developed by Vibrant Media, and is an example of keyword advertising. Website authors insert a script into their pages which calls the IntelliTXT platform when a viewer views the page; this script then finds keywords on the page and double underlines them. When holding the mouse over the double underlined link, an advertisement associated with that word will pop up.How to get rid of them on ALL web pages you visit? Three ways I am aware of.
