okay I have this virus that random words appear as links...i have attached an image of what it looks like. I would appreciate it if someone could help and tell me how to get rid of it. i've tried countless virus scans but nothing is working. Thanks in advance

i'm pretty sure that's Spyware/Adware... download SpyBot and that should take care of it

That's not a virus, it's spyware called ezula or toptext. you need to run adaware or spybot. if that doesn't work let me know.

Spybot is good... download it and scan your computer and delete EVERYTHING in red

make sure you download the latest version of AdAware AND the latest version of the VX2 cleaner, then run it in safemode a couple of times.
