Remove Lyrmix by Lyrix Engineering

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 acts as an adware type application and is typically defined as a unwanted application by various malware vendors.

Lyrmix is a web application, under development, that matches music according to the content and meaning of the lyrics rather than the sound of the music.

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 primary executable is named lyrmix.dll. The setup package generally installs about 4 files and is usually about 516.44 KB (528,835 bytes). The installed file LyricsmixUpdate.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered.
