Remove Mysearchdial Search Redirect Virus to Regain Good PC Performance

Rather than improving your search experience as mysearchdial claims, it has triggered something you don’t prefer:
  • Mysearchdial changes not only search engine but also hijacks homepage;
  • There is a new toolbar attaching to your browser which is obvious to be with mysearchdial.com;
  • Some strange icons and programs are installed onto your desktop;
  • General PC performance is beyond ridiculously slow.

Tricky and Hard-core Mysearchdial 




Mysearchdial.com is a tricky program that manages to fool even professional reporters. To get a clear view on the browser hijacker, you are welcome to read the following report by one of its victims:

‘Please help! I stupidly downloaded a program from a "trusted" source and it has installed malware on my computer. Specifically mysearchdial redirect toolbar that reinstalls despite the fact I have removed it from my computer. I think it must be hiding inside another program but I can't work out which one (although there is an icon called Online Games that I swear I've never seen before.) I have used kapersky tdsskiller but it didn't detect anything. Also please note that the redirect only happens on start-up and after that I can use the browser normally. I'm using chrome and iexplorer and running Windows 7.’

Apparently that mysearchdial is smart not to use its name to label all its components in a bid to avoid being deleted easily. And we have found that some of its parts are similar to legit ones supposed to belong to system. Therefore, your trusted anti-virus programs would not help with the extermination work.
