Hightsearch.com is an untrustworthy search engine even though it looks like a reliable search tool. It is usually called an untrustworthy search engine because it is spread by a browser hijacker infection and thus it usually replaces users’ default homepages and search engines without permission. Specialists have not found this surprising at all because all browser hijackers act the same, i.e. they hijack particular or all the browsers they find installed on the system. If this has already happened to you too, we suggest that you remove Hightsearch.com from your Google Chrome (yes, it affects only this browser) browser quickly and then start using a more reliable search engine instead. If you do not know anything about the deletion of browser hijackers, you should definitely read this article. We suggest doing so also if you want to know why you need to remove this browser hijacker. Read more »

Nevertheless, it does not mean that the application is any less potentially harmful than other similar ones. Accordingly, we advise users to remove it from their browsers as soon as possible.
