At one time or another we've all been targeted by these nuisances but the fifty million dollar question is, how do they get on to our computers in the first place - and how can we stop them? "Ads by LyricsSay" has a number of unwelcome traits. One being that it will normally download additional adware onto your computer and as most of us know, it can be intensely annoying thanks to its pop up advertising windows. If you've been infected you may well be wondering how the LyricsSay wormed its way onto your PC or laptop in the first place. Well I hate to break it to you but you might actually have installed it yourself. Ads by LyricsSay is usually bundled with freeware which means that anything you download without paying for can put you at risk. The big question is, how do you avoid doing this and how can you ensure you're not inadvertently exposing yourself to adware or something that can cause even more harm?
Anti-malware, anti-malware, anti-malware! We can't say it enough - using your PC without having anti-malware software installed is like playing Russian roulette! But that aside, you can also help yourself by being a little more wary about what you install on your computer. If you're thinking of downloading something from a website that is covered in spammy looking adverts and dodgy links then stop and ask yourself whether you could be downloading the software from somewhere more reputable. Also check the end user license agreement when you download something as PUPs come packaged with other programs. Most agreements make reference to ‘other applications’ so don’t just click ‘OK’ or ‘Continue’ but read the agreement and uncheck any boxes that were already opting you in for an (unwanted) added extra. Good luck and be safe online!
