Being retired and at the puter most of the day, I prefer to string them along, wasting their time (the most valuable asset they have) til THEY hang up on me

Hi Ron,

Just tonight I am all of a sudden getting highlighted words that look like hyperlinks (blue) within every post I surf through here on SI. If my mouse happens to scroll over any of these particular words I get pop up ads. It is happening in approx 98% of every post I go to, and it doesn't matter what board I'm on. The key words are random and don't show up as hyperlinks until I move my mouse within the post. The ads will also pop up if I happen to move my mouse over the word or words. I am running Windows 7 starter on this notebook and use MSSE for my security.

I have a lap top and desk top but I'm not home, so I don't know if the same thing is happening on those?

My browser is FF and my pop up blocker is enabled.

Can you suggest a solution?

P.S. When I came back to this post to let you know it's not happening in any post I submit, the edit page is pink, and there are big letters at the bottom of the page that say my posts are:
