The Browser Highlighter application, which highlights phone numbers, forms and other products to take the legwork out of web surfing, has been the source of many problems for computer users. It is a combination browser-addon and TSR application. The Browser Highlighter may become installed on a system without the owners consent. The two main sources of this malware are 1) eBay and 2) Skype. The Browser Highlighter not only integrates with the web browser, it also adds background processes (daemons) that are visible in the Windows Task Manager.

The Browser Highlighter may cause Firefox to run slow or crash.

The Browser Highlighter uses system memory and may impact the performance of your PC.

The Browser Highlighter is not easily removed. Uninstalling the browser addon does not remove the background processes from the system.
