Is it just my computer or does other people have miscellaneous words that are linked to "Gamevance"? ACME seams to have it as well but worse. Is this some new anoying spam tactic?

Equip, sounds like you may have malware on your computer. Go to http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php and download the free version of their scanner. They have regular updates, and it is effective. I run it once a month or so and prior to perfroming the scan, I update the software (free).

I bet it is my computer. The computer is making a clicking noise and a ringing type noise when I open certain programs. For me the word "communication" in the Bulletin Board Opperations is green and double under lined. Also, there are other words that are green and double underlined in certain threads.

Equip, the new search engine "Bing" is used as default search links with Yahoo and Microsoft applications. I noticed the same thing a few days ago with one website I visited. It was a Yahoo app, so key words were underlined and green text. Try using Google a couple of times, and maybe it will quit, unless you like Bing instead. I'd still run the anti-malware program just to be sure you are clean. As far as the funny noises, you had better feed the mice, they are starting to protest (maybe a hard drive or power supply issue, but it could be just about anything). You could always consider stimulating the economy and go out to buy a new computer 😄
Good luck with it.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
