Autolink is similar to MS Smart Tags technology

Read about it here:

Works with IE.

There is a dreamweaver extension available that claims to block it:

Now we've got to add more code to our pages to make sure we are not inadvertently helping to line the already full Google coffers! This is almost akin to a realtor selling my house putting other for sale signs on my front lawn advertising his other properties!

Cheers
