Step 1: remove MySearchDial from Windows
The so-called adware usually gets to your system via free or shareware and is installed unnoticed. Not only is your homepage changed: the search results are also manipulated.
- First you should uninstall the program using Control Panel. You can find out how this works under your Windows version in this practical tip.
- Look for the entry "MySearchDial" in the list of installed programs and remove it.
Step 2: Free the browser from the MySearchDial
Since not only the start page and the search engine change, but also an add-on is added to your browser, you should completely reset your browser. Complete the following instructions for all of your browsers:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Internet Explorer
Step 3: scan computer for remains
To be on the safe side, you should check your PC for further remains and adware. You can do this with the following free programs:
