As mentioned in a previous post, I have been attacked by malware.

I cleared my cache and deleted all my cookies, and I thought it might have fixed things, but it didn't.

I ran a full virus scan, AVG says my computer is clean. I have now seen the problem on other websites (Amazon, eBay).

To be more specific about the problem: web pages will have random words highlighted in yellow and underscored, and if my mouse cursor touches the highlight, I get what you see in the attached screenshot. In this case, it is the word "Total" (after File Manager) that triggered the popup. Sometimes the trigger is a word that I have typed, other times (as in the attached example) it is in the "boilerplate" of the page.

I really, really, don't want to nuke and repave to get rid of this thing. What should I do?
