I am creating auctions in SMP and links are being INSERTED BY THE PROGRAM into my auctions. Off ebay links! I go into the html of the listing, delete the link code, save, and the links are reinserted.
For instance the title of the listing is "Giorgio Armani Slides Heels Pumps" the program adds a link to a websearch on "Giorgio Armani" and then a link for a search on "Slides and Heels"

Hello - I apologize for the delay in getting back to you.
I have heard of this happening before, but it was so long ago I cannot remember the cause. I believe it had something to do with a setting in an outside application. I will check with engineering on this and get back to you tomorrow.
Once again - I apologize for overlooking your post.

Hello,
Just wanted to let you know that our engineers agree that it is most likely a setting or preference in an outside program that is causing this to happen. Unfortunately, I am not sure what setting or program this is related to. Are you using AOL by any chance?

Hello,
What is your ISP, and are you running any other programs at the same time as your browser (applications such as Gator, etc)? It sounds like an outside program is inserting links when it detects certain key words. AOL is one ISP that is known for doing this.
