Would anyone have a solution as to how I could remove
links in my favorites that appeared without me saving as;
of course they're adult related.

I've gone through usual methods of eliminating favorites
from the folder, but they always re-appear.

Anyone have any suggestions?

First eliminate any scumware.
See
Dealing with Unwanted Spyware, Parasites, Toolbars and Search Engines
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each need to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem please post back
in the same thread.
