What is LearnTheLyrics Toolbar?
LearnTheLyrics Toolbar is an application that was created by Mindspark Interactive Network, the same company that created EverydayMemo Toolbar, MyWayNotes Toolbar, WeatherBlink Toolbar, and hundreds of other applications that work in the same way. These toolbars always promote links to third-party sites, they always use the same search engine to provide users with a search service, and they always record and share data with third parties. All of these things contribute to our recommendation to delete LearnTheLyrics Toolbar and other toolbars alike. Why? The toolbars cannot be considered useful just because they offer links to useful sites. The search tool cannot be trusted just because it allegedly is “enhanced by Google.” Finally, the fact that undisclosed parties can obtain data about your virtual activity is disconcerting. We expand on all of this in the report, and if you are interested in learning more, keep on reading. Our Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have analyzed the PUP (potentially unwanted program) thoroughly, and if you have any questions about it, you can use the comments section to start a discussion.
How does LearnTheLyrics Toolbar work?
The suspicious LearnTheLyrics Toolbar can be distributed using a software package. What is a software package? It is a collection of applications, programs, files, and/or extensions that are bundled together for easy distribution. If the user is enticed to execute a software package because of one desirable program (for example, this could be a free version of an otherwise expensive program), all additional pieces are executed along with it. Although additional pieces should be introduced to the user in a clear manner, some users are careless, and they do not think much before installing unfamiliar programs, even when they have the opportunity to reject them. Have you downloaded LearnTheLyrics Toolbar along with unfamiliar programs, files, or extensions? Install a free malware scanner to find out if you need to remove malicious threats. Hopefully, you do not find other threats, and the only thing you need to do is eliminate the suspicious, potentially unwanted program. But why should you delete it? That is the question that most users who have used the toolbar have. After all, it does not look malicious, and it is not entirely useless. The thing is that the only beneficial feature of this toolbar is that it displays legitimate links. Other than that, it is completely useless and even suspicious.
Whether you download LearnTheLyrics Toolbar from the official site (learnthelyrics.com), the Chrome store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/learnthelyrics/iekdaegkmghillhfecnncgepaapdfcgf), or via a software package, you have to be cautious about the same things. First and foremost, you have to think carefully if you want to delete a program that is capable of spying on you and then leaking retrieved data to unknown parties. Second, you need to think if you want to trust the search tool promoted by LearnTheLyrics Toolbar. This search tool is MyWay Search, and it is allegedly enhanced by Google. What does that even mean? That means that a huge portion of the results that are shown via search.myway.com are taken from the Google search engine. What about the rest? The rest might include sponsored links that belong to third-party advertisers, who are, most likely, the ones most interested in the data recorded by the PUP.
How to delete LearnTheLyrics Toolbar
Do you need to remove LearnTheLyrics Toolbar because it is an incredibly malicious threat? Although we do not classify this PUP as a critical threat, it should be deleted because it is neither useful nor trustworthy. If you cannot part ways with this extension simply because you enjoy the easy-access links to websites that offer song lyrics, consider adding them to your browser’s bookmarks bar for quick access. If your browser’s homepage was modified as well, it should be restored once you delete LearnTheLyrics Toolbar. Speaking of removal, decide if you can successfully get rid of the potentially unwanted program and other threats on your own. If you are not so experienced, you want to install an automated anti-malware program that will clean your operating system and web browsers, and delete all threats for you.
