While entering a text question like I would here at TT in another forum, I am getting underlined LINKs to web pages automatically. There may 6 links in a single sentence that I don't want to see. It seems like a browser based search or a Google search is taking place on my text and creating links automatically. I can't seem to find any options in either IE 6 or Google.

Any ideas?

On the other hand, these "ad words" as they are called, are what allows this forum to be accessible to you for free.

Servers and software cost money, you know.

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like a toolbar that was recently added by another family member is the culprit. Every word that it could find was underlined and a link made to a web page concerning that item.

Appreciate the help here.

Mike, just so you know the underlined link in your post crashed my IE 6. Don't know why but I had to reboot. Maybe just my system but I'm not going to try it again.
