FunkLyrics is adware that may show a variety of adverts, discounts, offers, coupons and special deals that allegedly save money while web users are shopping online. Mainly, FunkLyrics may propagate using tricky techniques, such as packing it together with freeware. When it is installed automatically on the PC, FunkLyrics may modify browser settings and forcibly reroute web users to doubtful advertising websites that may show random pop-up ads on the desktop of the computer system. FunkLyrics might also slow down the machine. FunkLyrics may gather data about the computer user's browsing routine. FunkLyrics may also steal the web user's private details and transfer them to a remote attacker for targeted advertising intentions. While being installed on the web browser, FunkLyrics may embed an unwanted browser add-on, extension or plug-in. The pop-up adverts from LyricsViewer may be delivered when computer users are browsing the web using Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome.
