LyricalParty

LyricalParty is one of the many Web browser extensions that have been cataloged as PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) by malware researchers. LyricalParty has been reported to cause numerous problems on affected Web browsers, despite being marketed as a useful Web browser add-on. In fact, rather than providing a useful service, LyricalParty causes a large number of problems on the affected Web browser that far outweigh any possible benefits of installing or using LyricalParty. It is because of this that malware researchers strongly advise against installing Web browser toolbars and add-ons similar to LyricalParty. These types of programs will rarely do what they claim and instead may try to gain access to your data and display advertisements on your Web browser. The main issue with LyricalParty is that LyricalParty is installed as a Web browser extension that has access to many of your private activities. Using LyricalParty, marketers may keep track of your online activities, using this private data to display advertisements on your Web browser or selling it to marketing companies.

Is LyricalParty Unsafe to Your Computer?

LyricalParty is cataloged as a PUP. This means that LyricalParty is not a virus or trojan. However, PUPs are not harmless; they may cause a large number of problems on the affected computer, often nearly as severe as symptoms caused by threats. Many anti-virus applications are not able to recognize as LyricalParty potentially unsafe. Fortunately, LyricalParty can be removed without an anti-malware program, using the Windows Control Panel. However, LyricalParty may leave potentially harmful files and components behind. Because of this, after removing LyricalParty ESG security analysts advise the use of an anti-malware program from a trusted source that keeps it always updated, to scan the infected computer.

How LyricalParty and Similar PUPs are Distributed

Security analysts have recently come across fake Flash Player Update websites. Bogus Flash Player Updates are among the most common ways of distributing threats, banking on many computer users' lack of knowledge when it comes to viewing videos on their Web browsers. This fake Flash Player Update website and pop-up window have been known to install a large number of Web browser add-ons classified as PUPs, rather than an actual Flash Player Update. PC security analysts strongly advise computer users to regard this website and pop-up as a symptom of a security intrusion on your computer.
