Best Lyrics cannot be permanently removed. It must have installed a hidden file that creates the add on each time the computer is booted.

I inadvertently allowed the Best Lyrics add on to be installed for Firefox. It has annoying adds and sometimes links to malicious software. It can be disabled or removed from a session and become non functional after a Firefox restart but each time the computer is booted up it appears again. I assume there must be a file hidden somewhere that re-installs the add on each time the computer is started up. Does any one know how to remove this permanently?

hello HLT44, try to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner.

Thanks for the tip. It rurns out that the Bestlyrics was actually added as a program and I was able to get rid of it by uninstalling it from the control panel. (Should of thought of this before). I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes and it did find a couple of other PUP items for adware that I deleted. Thanks for the tip.
