Default What is this? Thiefware?

Ok, I had something strange on my computer. It has me worried. For the last two weeks.

I have two msn accounts. One is through hotmail,
one thorough my msn.

When I have been logging onto my hotmail, there
has been a yellow highlighted text when I would type my email address in. Strangley, all junk email that
has appeared in my main account started appearing in that account. A lot of it casino adds, so it has to be one of them. Anyway, I couldnt figure out where it was comming from. Then today I purchased some advertising online , and after I hit enter, the creditcard information also highlighted in yellow,.

Is this some kind of thiefware?
My registry mechanic, had 240 errors, but I ran it, and now whatever it was is gone. It never left with just removing spyware. There were no viruses on my scan.

I am highly concerned about someone having my credit card information now.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I can not find anything on the web about these yellow text highlights.

Thanks

Ama
