Unexplained links

    I have noticed that there is a link on my Website that I didn't put there. It is double underlined and leads to an advertisement. I have notice many other links like this on the internet lately.

    Is this a new kind of Website spam?

    How can I make sure the link doesn't appear anymore?

    The page in question is:
    http://www.hailshamtown.co.uk/health/index.html

    The offending phase "swimming pool" and show as a link on my computer in IE6.

    "Offers many fitness facilities including a swimming pool and gymnasium."

    When I display the page in IE6 "swimming pool" is a double underlined link. In Firefox it is just text which I what I intend it to be.
