It's nothing major, just annoying. Symantec calls it Adware.Baidu:

It installs a toolbar into IE and may display advertisements.

Can you modify your links so they are not active, this stops the accidental clicking.

e.g.  (http :// logoogle.888net.cn/year.php?key=2005) use some spaces before and after the :// people who are curious then have to take the cut, paste and edit the link to visit the site.
