AddLyrics is a web browser extension that installs as a browser helper object within Internet Explorer that will modify the user's web browser home page and search settings. The software will also bundle additional third party ad-support apsp that may include: DealPly, International Web Services LLC, SuperFish, Futureads.

During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up (this is typically done to avoid any UAC prompts). It adds a Browser Helper Object (BHO) to Internet Explorer. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version).

The setup package generally installs about 7 files and is usually about 17.44 MB (18,289,007 bytes).
