It happens when you visit those free porn sites. Just ask Elliot if you don't believe it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

Someone yesterday complained of this.
I don't think its the site. Might want to dump your cookies and run a virus scan.

Weird.

I will run another virus scan.

Its a virus.

Some kind of toolbar.

Try looking at your toolbars and disabling everything you don't recognize.

The only 'highlight' you should see when doing a search is the yellow background in the result that matches your search words.

Like so:

If you run Google Chrome or Google Tool bar it has a thing called Google ads where it will do searches on words and bring up ads for them.

I have noticed lately that when you are notified of a Flash or Java update, the install manager "asks" you if you want to install the xxx.com toolbar or the mcaf** virus checker. You have to uncheck the box to not have these loaded with your updates.

I hate damn near all software these days. It is getting to the point that you will actually need to read the agreement before you click "agree".
