LyricXeeker is a virus, say many posts

[Geek-9pm]

LyricXeeker (also known as Lyric Xeeker) is a potentially unwanted program or browser add-on application. Not yet reported in mass  media; this has been reported in the last week by many posters on the Internet.

 Here is a recent list:


WARNING. I have not personally checked all of these. Some just attempts to get you to buy there software. Don't buy anything! There is free software out there that will find it ans warn you; bunt it may not be able to  remove it.
Please report what you find., thanks.   

Links Removed...

The only credible link in your post is the last one...sophos...
And the alleged threat dates to 2003...
Hardly news...and has probably been handled by now with most protection apps.

Hardly news...and has probably been handled by now with most protection apps.

Respectfully disagree.
It is news. If your virus  definition is over a week old, it won't find nit if your get it.

Well it seems you in fact are the one that's mis-informed...all those links except Sopho's link to a SpyHunter download removal tool...
They are far from the most reputable outfit on the Planet out there...

But thanx for the info.

BTW SpyHunter once ran will eventually ask for $$ to remove infections...the very thing you are stating should be avoided.

Thanks Patio. I did not check  out the sties. But the threat is real. I found it with a scan from  Malwarebytes  and Avast.

I checked out Spy-hunter* . It is a scam. How do I know? Because it says it is not. it says it is not a scam; therefore it must be. Understand my logic?

Whoever they are, they must be using some kind of SEO thing with Google to make sure their phoney web sites come  up when  I  try to check it out with a Google search.

So, IGNORE THE LINKS I GAVE.
The whole think  is a scam.

* Spy Hunter is also the name of a game. The game is cool.

This is a retraction.    

The first post I made is wrong. I was stupid. I was sucked into a big ploy to sell bogus AV software. My only excuse is that I did not do it on purpose.

Moderator: Do whatever with the first post.
