Weird Links

What's with all the random words turning into links? There are some pretty odd ones. I've actually gone back and edited a couple of my posts to get rid of them.

Very annoying.

Haven't noticed anything, myself.

Can you give an example?

Me neither.

Every now and then a word or phrase will be underlined, seemingly at random. If I hover the cursor over it, it says "Powered by Text-Enhance". Clicking on it takes me to a variety of different places, also seemingly at random.

In Haplo's post (#17) in the line "It is not an extraordinary claim", "claim" is a link, and I don't think he put it there. I've noticed it in some of my own posts, and it annoyed me so much that I edit the post until it's gone.

[Edit] Funny, it made a link here, but here it takes me to the thread, and if I use that link the link there is gone. If I go there the usual way the link takes me here https://www.quibids.com/en/landing/index.php?mb=5or&sub.

It's all very strange. And annoying.

There's no link in the Haplo's post for me.

Upon further diggin' around, it does look like it's malware.
