LyricXeeker
from ClickRunSoftware
What is LyricXeeker?
LyricXeeker is a potentially unwanted application which can be embedded and installed onto Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browsers. This is a web browser extension and Browser helper Object (for Internet Explorer) that delivers contextual based advertising to the web browser. In addition it will modify the user's browser home and search pages as well as 'New Tab' pages to push advertising and search. The software is typically defined as a unwanted application by various malware vendors.
The software is distributed through download managers that bundle adware, toolbars and other potentially unwanted software through companies such as ClickRunSoftware (bestcodecpackapp.com, newzipopenerfun.com), ISfreemium, and ISBRInstaller (baixaki.com.br).
Overview
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 126.dll. Typically most users end up uninstalling this just after a few days. The software installer includes 11 files and is usually about 1.11 MB (1,161,011 bytes). LyriXupdate.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released.
