How can I get rid of Browser Highlighter? It doesn't show up in add-ons (either extensions or plugins), nor is it in Windows Vista program list.

Browser Highlighter updater box pops up every time computer is started & icon shows up in bottom toolbar. It doesn't show up in add-on list, nor windows programs to uninstall. I'm about to switch to another browser.

if this does not work look if you find it in:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\extensions and delete it

or try search the registry(but be careful) for the word "highlighter" and delete it


thank you
