Several recent MW reports have had odd words underlined as a link: 2514 - "Roman"; 2515 - "clean building"; 2518 - "windows" and "cancer research." Is this just my computer, or has a gremlin of some sort entered the Ship?

I do not see this anomaly when I view the reports on my computer.

Sounds like you might have some sort of malware on your computer that helpfully provides links to crap you don't want to see based on crap you are looking at. Are the underlined words links? Don't click on them if they are! [ 09. April 2013, 01:06: Message edited by: Zach82 ]

Google Chrome does that. Extremely irritating.

Zach is right - this is almost certainly a malware issue on your computer. Try running a full virus scan and see if that fixes it.

Or, more exactly, browsers using based on WebKit are vulnerable to enlinkifying extensions being unintentionally installed.

A colleague at work tells me this is a feature of Internet Explorer 10 (at least when used with Windows 7). I removed IE 10, and this went away.
