WTF is up with these hidden links?

So I am just browsing the forum, and in any post that contains the word "car" or "good job" there are hidden links, if you click those words, which direct you to a used car site or a job search...

WTF

Somewhere sometime, you clicked a link that put a "Trojan" on your computer. I'm not talking condoms either. Run Spybots and Adaware once a week and you'll be problem free. Don't forget to update those software regularly. And to those gambling and debt consolidation companies:
