Sounds like adware. Ezula/TopText or Clientman probably. Have them try an antispyware if you haven't already.

Greetings lists,

Has anyone seen a virus that creates links on certain keywords on web
pages that then sends the user to a spam/virus infected web-site?  At the
company I work for we've had a few customers call in stating that there is
a link for each instance of the word "credit" on our web pages and when
they click on the link they are presented with a credit card pop-up
advertisement.  When we have the user visit the same pages from another
PC, the links do not appear.  We're guessing that this might be some kind
of virus modifying the web page presented to the user.  Has anyone else
seen this?  Any idea what malcode might be causing this behavior?

Thanks in advance,
Brett
