Hijacked by Start.MySearchDial.com Redirect Virus – How to Remove?

The Start.MySearchDial.com redirect virus is a hijacker that changes the users computer settings to direct the user to wither the MySearchDial.com or Start.MySearchDial  websites, bot of which are search engines with a twist. The virus also installs a toolbar on the computer that works hand in hand with the browser redirects. While it is a very annoying inconvenience, it doesn’t present a security threat. Many computer hackers develop viruses that are designed to steal personal and financial information to use for fraudulent purposes.

This hijacker has been developed for the sole purpose of making money from advertisers that compensate each time their ads are clicked on.  Start.MySearchDial.com is related to Montera technologies which generated so many unwanted browser toolbars or hijackers that redirected Internet users to Mixidj.claro-search.com, Qvo6.com, Tuvaro.com or delta search engine. When the user opens up their browser, whether it is Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer, they are automatically directed to the search engine page controlled by the hackers. These pages look like the regular search engines that the users would typically be surfing on, but when they attempt to perform a search they are brought to pages that do not contain information related or similar to their search. Instead, these pages are filled with advertisements and pop up ads that compensate the website owner each time they are clicked on. The Start.MySearchDial.com redirect virus has been developed to make money for the hackers behind it. So you must step from this nasty redirect thing ASAP.
