In addition to being a PUP (potentially unwanted program) that will slow down your browser, it's possible for the program to hide harmful malware. Good reasons to remove it.
In some cases, a “bad” add-on can’t be removed directly via the browser menu, because removal is blocked by an add-on protector.
How do I recognize that a MySearchDial add-on has been installed on my browser?
Note: Depending on the browser and add-on version, a “New Tab” extension may also be included.
