The price of freedom is eternal vigilance

Removing Browser Highlighter

I already tweeted about this problem, referring to the post by Oliver Bodnar, but as the Browser Highlighter also adds itself back “stealthily” during simple updates of Skype, I though I might as well post a reminder here as well.

  1. Close Firefox;
  2. Go to Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/Extensions;
  3. Delete the browser highlighter folder;
  4. Restart Firefox.

That’s it,

PPM

PS: as previously highlighted by Oly, on his Manifesto, there might be some further “junk”  left on your machine (probably in the registry). Feel free to add a comment below if you have suggestions in this regard;

PS2: Oliver Bodnar also publishes the One Armed SEO website, and can be followed on Twitter
