What is FoxyLyrics ads?

FoxyLyrics ads is one of those programs that should not be allowed to remain on your computer. It is a potentially unwanted application commonly classified as adware and it could prove to be dangerous to your system. That is not to say that FoxyLyrics ads is a malicious computer infection. Unlike Trojans or rouges, this adware application does not enter your system in stealth. The truth is that users often install FoxyLyrics ads themselves. However, if it is possible to install the application willingly, it means that you can easily remove the program from your computer as well.

Where does FoxyLyrics ads come from?

There is a group of the so-called “Lyrics adware” applications all of which function the same, and even have identical icons. Therefore, FoxyLyrics ads can be considered a direct clone or a variant of such applications as Boby Lyrics, LyricsMonkey, Lyrics Fan and others. Thus, just like its predecessors, this application also has an official website you can download it at. It can be accessed at foxylyrics.co.

According to our researchers, there is no information about FoxyLyrics ads being bundled with any third party applications, but that is a comment practice when it comes to freeware and adware, so it would not be surprising if FoxyLyrics ads travelled with shareware programs as well.

The original function of this adware application is to display lyrics next to YouTube videos that you watch online. The main “selling point” of the application is the fact that it can turn your video viewing sessions into karaoke sessions.

Unfortunately, the application also comes with a number of commercial advertisements that it displays in order to support itself. You might be surprised to see ads and offers that are related to your likes and preferences, but that is so because FoxyLyrics ads collects information on your web browsing habits so that it could generate various ads that might be of interest for you.

In general, FoxyLyrics ads is not dangerous, but the program is not responsible for the third party content that is displayed in the ads. Hence, even corrupted links to corrupted websites might be embedded in the pop-up ads, thus exposing you to potentially malicious content.
