The LookForWord software from Revizer Technologies Ltd. is marked as adware by researchers due to its aggressive advertisement display. PC users that like to listen to music on YouTube may have been offered to install LookForWord by Revizer Technologies on free software deployment platforms. The LookForWord program is said to load lyrics from sources like Azlyrics.com and Metrolyrics.com on a panel next to music clips you play on YouTube. The LookForWord application is advertised at Lookforword.com to "give users the ability to sing along with every song while watching your favorite music video." However, you should note that the LookForWord app is offered free-of-charge, but that does not mean its developers will not monetize their product. Revizer Technologies Ltd. uses the services of advertisers to support their software, and the LookForWord application may inject advertisements on non-affiliated pages to generate affiliate marketing revenue for its creators.

The LookForWord software is classified as adware because it may use statistics like your geographical location, bookmarks, and Internet history to generate customized commercial content in your browser. The LookForWord adware may not welcome users to specify what type of compositional materials they may be interested in. The ads by LookForWord might appear as pop-up ads, banners and video commercials on Vimeo and YouTube. The LookForWord adware may play radio ads when you open your new tab and invite you to purchase items on a discount from partners. The LookForWord adware may load lyrics to the music videos you play online, but it may cover your browser surface with marketing content. Fortunately, PC users can use a trusted anti-spyware tool to remove the LookForWord adware and restore their optimal browser performance.
