What's with all the ad linked words?

Has the forum been hacked or have some users found a new way of making money?

I'm seeing words such as degree & phone company with ad links on them.

If it's money making where do I sign? I'm also intrigued as to whether they will appear linked in this post.

The answer to which is.........................?

    Scary thought. Perhaps it's my laptop that has been "hacked".....

    Thanks for the replies....

    An add-on in FF I think. I'm switching between IE - FF - and Chrome at the moment trying to decide which one I'm going to "stick" with and it's only in FF........

    .........or was. They have disappeared after disabling a couple of add-ons that seems to have installed themselves. "Price Peep" & "Yontoo" - wonder when they managed to sneak in.
