<A TITLE="Click for more information about adware" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://messagebroadcaster.net/bannerfarm/link/sw/sw.htm">adware</A> <br /> <br />There was a reference to a certain computer problem that I missed and it had to do w/ adware, and I have left in what prints out when I edited this post. (See the above garbage in the first paragraph, where I simply typed the word adware.) This problem causes my edited posts to have certain targetwords highlighted (w/ an underline and in whatever the dominant color is on that particular webpage (they are 'blue' on this Forum, as an example). The problem went away for about a day earlier this week, and now it's back. If I post a reply and have a need to edit it, when I do it will print out a whole bunch of computer code where that word was, again as illustrated in the beginning of this edited reply. <br /> <br />I believe it may be tied into a 'cookie' called commission junction.com that Kalmbach has graced all of us with. I went to the website of the parent company for that cookies program, and they proudly claim Kalmbach Publishing as one of their happiest and largest users ! Thank you Kalmbach for snooping on us and possibly causing our 'puters to run slow, compromise our privacy, impact our ability to use the Internet for certain searches, etc. <br /> <br />This problem also appears to be associated w/ : search.targetword.com and w/ : search.information.com. You'll get all kinds of filth if you go to either of those sites, so don't (unless you like filth). One of the things this problem causes is, as an example : let's say you're searching a particular site for employment opportunities, and you click on the 3 letter word beginning with a "j" for that (don't want to have to edit the program code that will attach to that word). It will prevent you from ever accessing that site's employment opportunities, and will insert an overlapping full page 'search for whatever that word was' that was highlighted. <br /> <br />Also, when I first click onto this Forum, other Kalmbach Forums, and occassionally on the MSN hot mail main page, the curser will be highlighted w/ a small and brief flaming star? icon, signaling it has attached itself to my curser and wherever I take it. <br /> <br />Anybody experiencing anything like this? It's driving me crazy.
