About electroLyrics?
electroLyrics is a web browser extension and Browser Helper Object (for Internet Explorer) designed to display contextual based advertising to the web browser. This software, which is often categorized as adware by various malware vendors, is distributed through bundle sites such as download-instantly.com. While it is presented to users as a tool to display lyrics when watching YouTube videos, its true purpose is to hijack the web browser and display search/ads. electroLyrics has the capability to modify the user's browser home and search pages, as well as 'New Tab' pages, in order to push advertising and search results. It is known to inject its own advertising in the form of contextual link ads, banner ads, popups, and pop-overs, and can also hijack advertising on non-associated websites, including known ad serving sites. The removal of electroLyrics can be very difficult, and in some cases, may require the use of an anti-malware product. It is often bundled with various third party unwanted applications and can be distributed through web browser exploits. Despite being listed in the Windows Add/Remove Programs and coming with an uninstaller, fully removing this software may pose a challenge.
