I have noticed on many posts lately, a brown underline on certain words. Now in my latest post a word was underlined all by itself. When I put my cursor on it, it asked that you click on it and it would take you to another site. Is this just another form of advertisement?
 
It might be a virus on your computer. I had the same thing, with a green line. I got rid of it. How, I don't know.
 
I can't see anything.

It's a form of adware that affects the way your browser reads the page and links key words to advertisements. For example if you had this adware and you saw the word insurance, it might link you to an insurance site. To get rid of it I suggest going to winpatrol.com download their free program then get spybot search&destroy another excellent piece of software and use them to rid yourself of adware and spyware.
