Yikes, there is something fishy in my computer :-( This only happens on DPC, I haven't noticed it anywhere else yet. I am currently running a full virus scan (which I only did yesterday *sigh*).

I suddenly get hijacked onto a different page when I click on perfectly normal looking DPC links.



Also, I get random links pop up wherever they feel like, and disappear if I refresh the page:



Has anyone else seen this? Any wisdom other than the virus scan?

Update: nope, not only DPC, it pops up elsewhere, too, now *sigh*

Check your browser add-ins, extensions or plug-ins. Do you see anything called Yontoo? If so...delete or uninstall it from your browser. I believe both Easy Inline,and your other issue in the first screen shot are tied in with Yontoo.

Ooops, I forgot to update this, I had already found it.
Yes, you are totally right. That is exactly what I found and deleted.
Not only did I find an extension by that name, but also a program via Control Panel - Add/remove programs.

I got rid of both of those, now all seems to be good.

Except I still don't know how it got there, where it came from. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Thanks Dave, you would have solved my problem if I hadn't beaten you to it LOL

Either way Karin, I'm just glad you have it resolved. :)
