How to turn off green highlighing of links?
All of a sudden, in Firefox every link on search pages and in emails is highlighted in green. Previously they appeared as plain blue links. These highlights are driving me crazy. They are so ugly and distracting!! I am switching to Internet Explorer until I find a way to turn this off. Please help!

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
