Some of these links disappeared for me after uninstalling Microsoft Silverlight. This junk was confined to my Tor Browser and not my other one.

The actual 'Infolinks' toolbar and all the links disappeared after deleting java installer downloads, Microsoft Silverlight installer, and jzip installer downloads which are free downloads. My anti-spyware would not declare it as malware because it is apparently agreed to with acceptance of the downloads. I'm not suggesting those are malware downloads, but you have to watch what you allow for ads when accepting those downloads, as BillyM cautioned.

Thanks for your important post on this irritating adware.

: Has anyone else noticed the new green colored links appearing
: in the Reading Room?

: These apparently random links, when the mouse is hovered over
: the highlighted word, produce ads that are completely

: unrelated to the supposed "keyword" represented
: by the double-underlined word.

: There seems to be no pattern to which words are selected for
: linking. Some are words in headlines and some others are
: agent names. Seemingly random words within posts are also
: marked. Even the word "Forum" in the Reading Room
: title is marked for an ad.

: My next step is to log out of the RR and then back in to
: determine if the links are static or dynamic. Either way,
: this seems to be some sort of malware attack.

: And it's annoying as hell.... But that's just my $.02.
