What is Hyperlinker and why is it on my computer screen when I mouse over a hypertexed word?

Hyperlinker is an annoying adware program that attempts to redirect you by pop-ups that plug in to a browser and then searches each page you view for keywords. It then creates a hyperlink (if affected you will see highlighted words all through your text that were not placed there by the webmaster) to a sponsor that sells a product that may be related to the keyword. It will be obvious if it is running in your computer as some of the hyperlinks will have double underlining. This slows down you browsing and is misleadingly directing people away from the site they chose to be on to sites that are full of annoying ads and pop-ups.
