Why are we getting links (little circles with an arrow) all of a sudden within our posts? Seems to be hitting on keywords.

You might want to check your computer for adware.

I do have Adblock and it is telling me that the word "complete" on the REPLY TO page, where I am typing this, has an ad attached to it. Very strange!

Did a little research on this and it appears this is some sort of crappy extension that Google must have loaded on. I tried to uninstall and a pop-up says that it can't be removed. Getting awful tired of Google shoving sh*t down our throats. :(

Download a free programme called malwarebytes. You might be surprised to see what it finds.
Either that or have a look at latest programmes on your computer. Go to control panel/add delete programmes. Sort by latest installed. If you see something you didn't install at the top of the list, that might be your problem.
Cheers

Thanks, Tony. This is only a problem using Google's Chrome. Explorer does not have it. I've tried all the uninstalls but no luck deleting it. So apparently it is something they have included on the Chrome site. Thanks for helping.
