preventing unwanted links from appearing

[VT]

Hi,
I have Explorer 6.0. Just recently, links have been
appearing all over the websites that I visit. For
example, a site that I visit regularly has, "remember my
ID on this computer."
The word "computer" is now a link. All of these new links
seem to link up to the website, www.coolwebsearches.com.
These links are appearing everywhere (eg. Yahoo, Hotmail,
and even the Microsoft Online Support Center). HELP!!
How do I get rid of these unwanted links from
www.coolwebsearches.com.
