The LookForWord browser extension is marketed towards music lovers who want to be able to find the lyrics of most songs on YouTube quickly. However, the LookForWord extension may not as useful as it claims, and you should know that many anti-malware programs detect and remove LookForWord as 'adware.' The LookForWord adware may not pose a significant threat to your computer, but its installation is almost guaranteed to bring numerous ads to all your Web browsing sessions. Adware applications may often promote Potentially Unwanted Programs, affiliate products/services and links to unsafe websites. The LookForWord adware isn't any different, and you can rest assured that its advertisements are not to be trusted because they may provide you with untruthful information. LookForWord does indeed work as a song lyrics provider, but it may not work on a large portion of YouTube videos because of its small database. There are much better tools to use if you want to find song lyrics, and the chances are that most of them will not annoy you the way LookForWord may do when it starts displaying its advertisements. The LookForWord extension may sometimes be installed without the user's knowledge, and its ads may appear even if you did not agree to install the extension knowingly! The best way to deal with the pesky LookForWord adware, regardless if you installed it or not knowingly, is to run an anti-malware scanner and remove all suspicious files.
