3rd Party Linking within IE6

[Ian]

Words within Internet Explorer are linking through a 3rd
party site called go-acct.com which are not part of the
page. There must be a program on my computer doing this
but I have been unable to find what program it is. If
anyone has any help or information on this, please email
me.

example of problem: A page will link every instance of
the word 'books' to goto:books in the status bar and the
page is http://www.runsearch.com/top/go.php?qq=books

email me to advise
