Sweet pack virus/random words linking to adds.

About 2 months ago I installed a program called Sweet pack ( random installation that came with a free program and i forgot to un-check ), at first it was just a search tab that seemed to be popping up again and again every 2-3 days and i didn't bother with it simply because removing it took 2 seconds.

At one point however i decided to uninstall, i uninstalled the mozila add-on but than it popped up again in a few days, than I uninstalled it from add-remove program and about 2 days after that random words started highlighting on mozila pointing towards rather shady add websites.

Im not sure if the 2 are related or not, but as far as i know now sweet pack was a search-alteration malware so it might be still sweet pack doing that or I might have caught another virus.

Has anyone else had this problem ? I did a scan with both AVG and kaspersky and they both showed nothing.
