This won't actually fix what's causing all the code that's appearing in your posts. That's probably caused by something that you've installed (as you suggested). It'll most likely be one of the small programs that adds smileys to your emails or that kind of thing. I have no idea what you've got installed there, so I can only guess.

Purely by accident, I've just come across another post with a similar problem here. Their code is very similar to yours, except it goes on a bit more and, importantly, contains the words "hotbar_promo". If you've installed Hotbar, your code problems will probably disappear if you get rid of it. Start with the Add/Remove Programs bit in Control Panel then have a look at the instructions here. If you're not confident editing the registry as it says, then either create a restore point if you're using XP, or have a look at the Hotbar uninstall programs linked to on that page. Good luck!
