Internet Explorer yellow link bars under key words

[Guest]

Please tell me how to get rid of this:

whenever on the internet and I go to any website, a large variety of key words have yellow lines under them linking me to different sites. I know it is only on this computer because it doesn't show up on my other one. I know they aren't on the websites because they are also showing up on my own personal site. I read an article about Claria doing something like this, but can't find any programs with their name. Can anyone help?

check your 'option' button on your toolbar to see if 'highlight' is checked...this will highlight all of the words that you placed in your search criteria..except words like 'and' 'or' 'the', etc...although, these are not necessarily links, as you described.

also, do you have spybot? or Spywareblaster? ad-aware? Any of these programs will work when you want to find and remove unwanted programs that snuck into your pc.
Have you tried using the 'search' to locate any files associated with Claria?

after re-reading your post, I now understand it better..here is a link to claria..it seems that you have one of their components installed on your pc, the link is just one of many that are removal tools for claris..I found it by typing Claria into the google search bar.
