Yep, Google toolbar. Two years though! That is a long time to suffer! I am surprised you didn’t try a different search engine.

thanks a lot , spent over 2 hrs trying to figure out what went wrong with my system, cos the highlighting was so annoying, especially since it appeared on other pages too. i’ve solved the problem….now i can continue my work!

Dunno, mine came on by accident, then went off again. Must be a switch somewhere, no idea where. Will take a look later and see if I can find it.

Desamoye, thanks for explaining that. I thought it was something amiss with Google.

Same happened to my system but I rectify the error.

This happen simply because your mistakely click on the Toggle highlighting button on the google toolbar.

To rectify the error, On your Google toolbar, you will see a yellow toggle highlighting button that looks like a brush tool (after autofill button) just click on it and the highlighting will go.

No idea. Strangely, I only saw it once, and blogged it, but never saw it again. I guess the wrong switch at Google was flicked by accident.
