Threat Metric
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

Lyrics Party is an adware program that adds the option of accompanying lyrics with viewing streaming videos, but also injects unwanted advertisements into your browser. Even though Lyrics Party isn't considered a threat, malware researchers regularly see similar adware programs failing to provide sufficient security safeguards for their advertising networks, along with an overall lack of advertisement-managing settings for the user. Since Lyrics Party may be a security risk and may harm your PC's performance, deleting Lyrics Party with an accurate anti-malware product is the safest bet for dealing with its presence on your computer, either uninvited or consensual.
Lyrics Party: Having a Party in Your Browser, and Advertisements are Invited
Lyrics Party is part of the adware 'subgenre' of Potentially Unwanted Programs, a broad grouping of software that may have limited positive effects but aren't deliberately hostile to your PC's security. Basing its features on the previously-established popularity of online movie websites, Lyrics Party attempts to provide text lyrics for any music videos you may be watching – although many popular streaming sites already provide similar features in various states of functionality. What makes Lyrics Party worth malware researchers' time is its inclusion of advertisements that are injected in unrelated sites, in formats that may include pop-up banners, additional 'search results' and/or keyword links.
Lyrics Party also has one more characteristic of a PUP: Lyrics Party doesn't use normal software distribution methods or any form of visible online marketing to find new users. Most cases of adware programs in this set of circumstances involve them exploiting general software bundles that let them install themselves along with separate programs. A little extra caution around download sources from less reputable locations, such as free software sites or torrenting networks, always should be considered helpful for avoiding potential Lyrics Party installers.
A Shutdown for Any Unwanted Advertising Festivities
With the limited worth of Lyrics Party's useful features and the substantial performance and safety issues around its add-on-monetizing plans, malware analysts only can recommend deleting Lyrics Party from your PC in almost all situations where Lyrics Party is noticed. Anti-malware and anti-adware software usually should be turned towards for handling Lyrics Party's deletion, since Lyrics Party, like many other kinds of adware, has a history of not uninstalling itself entirely upon request. However, no long-term harm has been reported from encounters with Lyrics Party in any case where its removal has been handled properly.
The browsers with which Lyrics Party has full compatibility are still being determined. Nonetheless, malware researchers have seen many nearly-identical (in all respects except their brand names) types of adware in circulation and expect to see new ones for the indefinite future. As long as advertising remains profitable, protecting your PC from adware like Lyrics Party will be a necessity.
