Highlited words on TER now? AOL ad builder?

Is it just me or is this something new on TER?  Very annoying.

You know how some websites have certain words randomly highlited in a paragraph and they're links to other pages?  If your mouse hovers over one a pop-up appears?  For instance, as I type this the word "annoying" in my earlier message and the "email message" me on response are highlited.  Both give a pop up ad for AOL Career Builder.

Could be malware on my pc so I was wondering it anyone else is seeing it.  It's an advertising tactic that's been around forever but I'd never seen it on TER before today.  And I don't see it on some other sites I visit.

...never seen that here and don't see it now.

Try logging out of everything you are logged into. I once had something that didn't seem quite right, shut every thing down, rebooted and all was normal again.
