Hmm.  Not showing up in any of my browsers.  My first guess is that something has installed adware into your computer/browser.  I would bet the underlined words are now clickable and take you to some other sites with ad content related to that word.

That often happens with those "helpful" toolbars that so many sites and softwares always are wanting to "give"  you.  Have you recently installed or noticed any new ones on your computer?

No popup surveys from us.  That too is an indicator of adware.
