Happy Lyrics is a program developed by Happy Productions. 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 main program executable is hppylrc.dll. A vast majority of those who have this installed end up removing it just after a couple weeks. The software installer includes 3 files. HLUpdater.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released. In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows 10. While about 27% of users of Happy Lyrics come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and Italy.
