Use a different browser, get and do a decent virus/malware checker.

Is Google Chrome ok? , and just done a scan with Norton and found nothing...............

[FONT=Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]You could try google chrome or firefox in case it is just a browser issue but Sounds like u have maybe picked up a bit of spyware/malware. If it was working fine before And you have system restore enabled I would give that a bash and restore back to when it was working.

I have done this on a lot of mates computers that had spyware and does the trick most times.

Failing that I would install malware bytes and run a scan to see what it picks up.[/FONT]

see this on some forums, it's usually ones I browse without registering on

Sounds like its a toolbar that has been installed and is highlighting words that correspond to other search items. Disable any add ons and load the sites again if it clears it then you know the fault. Then add remove program's and uninstall the search toolbar program's.

Try this:

1. Click on the spanner button in the top right corner of your browser.
2. Go to settings.
3. Go to extensions.

See if there is an extension/add-on enabled that could be the problem, and disable it.
