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.........................?

    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.
