You should be able to apply a css style to the HeaderText of your gridview.

You will need the following in your css.

 a {text-decoration: none} 
a:hover {text-decoration: underline}

Although using CSS is the best way to handle this, if you don't have any CSS set up for your headers, you could add simply a <HeaderStyle> tag and set the underline to false.

<asp:GridView ....>
     <asp:BoundField ...>
          <HeaderStyle Font-Underline="False" />
      </asp:BoundField>
....
</asp:GridView>
