Weird VIM colorscheme, I don't know what's going wrong in my configuration

I got a weird vim interface, please take a look at the following image:

enter image description here

How can I remove those red blocks? It's not highlighted search.

What I did is switch from Gentoo to Arch, my ~/.vimrc remain unchanged.

Many thanks!

Looks like you've got spell-checking enabled.

:set nospell

If you want to find who set 'spell' (it's off by default), use:

:verbose set spell?

There's a syntax file that has those strings in it, telling the colorscheme to color them in some special way. The colorscheme defines that special way to be utterly hideous. :)

If you want that text highlighted, just differently, you'll need to edit your colorscheme. If you don't want that text highlighted, you need to remove them from the syntax definition.

Unfortunately I don't know much about that stuff as I'm mostly happy with the defaults on Windows...
