Be-Markable

Hi-Lighter

Advertisers keep coming up with new ways to promote their offers, and Hi-Lighter, for example, shows ads when you highlight the words on any web page. Although this is an original way to showcase links and advertisements, we have seen many programs using the same advertising method, including HighlightSearches, Search Highlighter, and WordWizard. Needless to say, all of these programs are introduced as the best browsing tools, but Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers classify them as unreliable. If you download any of these programs onto your operating system, you can expect annoying pop-ups and suspicious ads to show up whenever you browse the web. Unfortunately, these ads might be not only annoying but also misleading, and this is why you should remove Hi-Lighter. Read more »
