I've been fighting this since Thursday - I hope you guys can help!
I have random hyperlinks in EVERYTHING - from web pages to emails. Each highlighted or underlined word (sometimes both) leads to another page related to that word. I've run Norton, AdAware, Spybot S&D, Spyware Sweeper, CW Shredder and Spy Subtract. Spyware Doctor used to run, but now it gets stuck at 10% and locks up - I took out the program twice and reinstalled, but no luck. Each program found a bunch of stuff, but I still have the hyperlinks.
Here's my HJT log:
