Sounds like you have syntax highlighting on but Vim thinks you don't have a color terminal. How to get rid of them depends on whether or not you really do want syntax coloring on (but want actual colors, not underlines).
If you want no syntax highlighting whatsoever, just say
in your ~/.vimrc file.
If you do want color highlighting, you'll have to figure out how to tell Vim your terminal can support colors. I remember having to set some Vim variable (probably term, but look it up) to "xterm-color" or "color-xterm" to fix this problem when I had it.
