Comments on: Google toolbar move raises online ire

Adding hyperlinks where there weren't any before is like hijacking a Web site, some critics say.

you mean google, like AlGore, didn't invent the internet?

I'm in control of the content I see, thanks. I don't need the fuzzy "thinking" of the liberalists at google "helping" me, nor do I want more ads! Less ads seen is always better for me!!

Auto-Linking found throughought my site

Question.....I recently discovered certain words on some of my site's pages that contained hyperlinks to external searches and ultimately, sites to mine. When hovering over the link, it pops-up a box with information that leads to what appears to be a random site...and in the status bar of the browser in says "In search of: [and states the word that is hyperlinked]". I have been told by that this could be caused by installing the Google Toolbar.......I have never installed nor used the Google Toolbar on any of my equipment. What else is causing this, is this a form of site hi-jacking....the strange part is that my code shows nothing visible that leads to any explanations. If somebody knows I 'd appreciate help with this problem. Thanks.
