Adware.LyricsKid – A Kid that May Mean Trouble
PUPs associated with Adware.LyricsKid are commonly installed without the computer user's knowledge. This is because Adware.LyricsKid is bundled with free software downloaded from certain software download Web pages. Although the option to opt out of installing Adware.LyricsKid is usually there, it is frequently hidden in some way to prevent computer users from removing Adware.LyricsKid. Because of this, many computer users may mistakenly believe that Adware.LyricsKid is a virus and that Adware.LyricsKid was installed through typical threat infection methods. In fact, most Adware.LyricsKid infections are actually a result of computer users failing to opt out of installing Adware.LyricsKid themselves when downloading a free program online.
Removing Adware.LyricsKid and Stopping Adware.LyricsKid Advertisement
To stop problems associated with Adware.LyricsKid, computer users should remove the Adware.LyricsKid infection from the affected computer. Adware.LyricsKid may be uninstalled in the same way as most Web browser extensions.
