Its been awhile since I used vi but I believe what you are looking at is a
past search.  To check try:

    :/larry

Assuming that "larry" is not in your document.  If the highlighting is now
gone then:

    :nohlsearch

will turn it off for the current session.

To turn it off all together look in ~/.viminfo for:

    # hlsearch on (H) or off (h):
    ~H

and edit it appropriately.
