WTF is with VigLink?

[FlyingQ]

Starting this morning, every time I posted the word "tires" in a post, the word would automatically become a link to ebay. I've tried several different computers. WTF? Anyone know how to block this intrusive crap? Moderators, if this is something new, we should have the ability to turn it off. Not happy.

EDIT: You can see it this post along with the word "ebay".

Hmmm...yeah, I see it on my iMac using Firefox if I turn Adblock off.

I don't see it with Safari.

Changing Profile settings to block IntelliTXT ads makes no difference.

Hmmm...

Firefox rules!

Thanks guys for whatever you to get rid of it.

In case you're curious, it appears I was able to get rid of the linking by adding the URL //api.viglink.com/api/click? to the pop-up blocker settings in ie9.

I hate these damn ads! I call bullsh!t to those trying to sneak this in. I paid for no advertising and that's what I expect!

Thanks to llama avatar for the hint. From the Firefox Tools menu I clicked on Add-ons, then on the web page that displayed I searched for Adblock. Installed it. Then I went to the links provided to add the Fanboy (Fanboy Adblock Homepage) Adblock and Tracking list subscriptions. I also added the Adplus Pop-up Addon, just in case.

Once you restart FF, click Tools >> AdBlock Plus >> Open blockable items. You'll see the bottom of the browser expand and a window with a list of items. Find http://cdn.viglink.com/ap/vglnk.js, right-click on it, and select Block this item... Done!
