SOMEHOW, a link has shown up in my auction titles and ads. It is for a cruise and everywhere the word cruise is used, you can click on the word and it takes you to a search website? OF COURSE, ebay won't launch these. How did this happen?? These auctions worked in November. Can anyone help? I almost feel like my computer has a virus or something.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!

Hi, sounds like a hijacking type virus or trojan. Do a free virus scan at Mcafees and download a free program called Spybot Search & Destroy, update its files then do a search of your computer with that program. Only program I found to get rid of pest that will come back on you if not removed completely. Good luck. OR it might be that this is only showing up on your PC?? It should be made illegal for advertisers to develop and use such tactics--Pop ups included in that.
