What stupid links?

If you are having weird popups then you obviously have some sort of virus or spyware. Download a good antispyware proggy and zap it.

IntelliTXT is advertising on websites.

If you had any kind of a good browser, you'd be able to block them, but since you don't, you can't

Oh yeah, didnt see title.

Anyway if it is applying the intellitxt thingy to EVERY page, then there must be something installed to do that, probably a IE toolbar addin of some sort. IE7 does not do it by default. I only see the intellitxt green link thingys on certain sites that do it purposely.

i've only seen them on TomsHardware.co.uk and a number of UltimateBB forums; find them irritating and set IE7 to disable them.

not a browser problem, more of a "i've installed something without checking what it does first.." problem

According to Google there are blockers for it, so you are wrong (at least with the latter statement).
