There's a thing called Autos.aol.com on my computer and I think it's a virus. How do I remove it?

It's basically where random words are highlighted and if I run my mouse over it, a little box appears advertising something that I don't bother to look at. The words are highlighted in blue or green.

hello Kclulu, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware/malware on your pc.

please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
