Start.mysearchdial.com

A malicious browser hijacker Start.mysearchdial.com is on the loose and you need to protect your operating Windows system against it as soon as possible. Also known as Mysearchdial Virus, the malicious redirect threat has been created by vicious schemers who act under the camouflage of online marketeers. The main goal for the suspicious search engine is to boost traffic to sponsored websites. This can be done by adding random links to search result pages and presenting flashing advertisements within the search engine itself. Even though this is not illegal, it is not wise to trust any of the links presented by the malicious hijacker. Once it infects your personal computer, you will notice that your home page and search engine have been changed without your knowledge. If you have noticed this – remove Start.mysearchdial.com as soon as possible.

Start.mysearchdial.com search engine is suspicious because it promotes the highly questionable Funmoods products Greetingmoods and Safemoods, and it offers you to install RegCleaner Pro from systweak.com. Note that it may be dangerous to install any software from third party sources, especially if it is Windows security software. The search engine is also quite questionable because of the presented Privacy Policy, where it is disclaimed that the data collected may be exposed to third party affiliates:

Apart from Mysearchdial's employees and contractors, who are under strict confidentiality and data-protection obligations, no other 3rd party shall have access to your personal information. Some of Mysearchdial’s affiliates and partners have access to this statistical information. We take efforts to secure your information and to follow information security guidelines and procedure; however we cannot 100% guarantees against malicious activity with regard to such data.

It is wise not to take any risks regarding your virtual security. If you continue using Start.mysearchdial.com as your search engine, it is possible that schemers will have a chance to inject malignant tracking cookies or expose you to misleading advertisement or even route you to spyware-harboring websites. There is no doubt you should delete the browser hijacker from the PC, and the task can be performed quickly and reliably with the help of automatic spyware detection and removal software.

    These instructions are just a trifle confusing - is there a simpler way in which to remove mysearchdial?

    Trevor,

    These are really simple instructions, compared to some other malware. If its too hard, you could use some help from a friend, or an antispyware software

    Thank you very much. It is confusing only if you click on the advanced tab. I started over and saw that you are very clear. So if anyone is doing this and it doesn't see to be working, re read it carefully.

    Great job for removing,
    Brenda
