Remove Start.MySearchDial.com hijack (Removal Guide)

Start.MySearchDial.com is a browser hijacker, which is promoted via other free downloads, and once installed it will add MySearchDial Toolbar, and change your browser homepage and search engine to Start.MySearchDial.com.

Start.MySearchDial.com will display advertisements and sponsored links in your search results, and may collect search terms from your search queries.
Start.MySearchDial got on your computer after you have installed a freeware software (video recording/streaming, download-managers or PDF creators) that had bundled into their installation this browser hijacker.
For example, when you install MySearchDial, you will also agree to change your default browser homepage and default search engine to Start.MySearchDial.com and install theMySearchDial Toolbar.

However, when you uninstall MySearchDial from your computer, your web browser’s default settings will not be restored. This means that you’ll have to remove MySearchDial Toolbar and Start.MySearchDial.com from your favorite web browser manually.

You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this Start.MySearchDial hijacker. Be very careful what you agree to install.
Always opt for the custom installation and deselect anything that is not familiar, especially optional software that you never wanted to download and install in the first place. It goes without saying that you should not install software that you don’t trust.
