Hmm... do you've any weird software installed? Any plug-ins of IE which may cause this?

 

[Redwingsguy]

Get some spyware software remover.

I know it does that here at AT if you search for a specific keyword.. and then it highlights the keyword.. try it... right no top.. type something in the past.. and it will search it and high light it yellow.

There are a number of spyware programs that do this. Foremost in the media's spotlight is the Smart Tags functionality of the upcoming IE 6.0, which will do this. Other programs that do this include Flyswat. Maybe some other program you installed also automatically installed Flyswat?
