If you have noticed those things happening on any of your web browsers, your computer is definitely infected and you should take care of it. Please continue reading the article and learn how to do that the most efficiently.

Features of Search.hdailysocialweb.com virus

As most of other browser hijacker viruses, such as Playbar.biz or Quickneasysearch.com virus, Search.hdailysocialweb.com is built on the basis of browser add-on. As we know, it is compatible with all most popular web browsers out there, including Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. So this website itself is not a virus – it’s just a consequence of the add-on infection that is operating on one or several of your web browsers.

It was developed by Polarity Technologies LTD – company well known for crafting and distributing malware. So when this infection lands on your computer, it will automatically make some changes on your web browsers – www.Search.hdailysocialweb.com will be set as a homepage and default search engine without your awareness. If you think that you can simply change those settings and the problem will be solved, think again – malicious files placed on your computer and web browser will change them back the next time you restart your computer.

This website looks like a regular search engine, and if you try to look for something via Search.hdailysocialweb.com, your search will be processed by Yahoo search engine, thus you can trust the results. However, we have a suspicion that those searches are being recorded, so all information you fill in the search box of Search.hdailysocialweb.com can be leaked – that is very dangerous.

We would also like to bring your attention to the toolbar featured on the homepage:

It looks like a useful tool that can help you to reached most needed links faster, however, it’s just another trick performed by crooks. They put some legitimate icons, such as gmail or Yahoo to make this toolbar look trustworthy. However, other links featured there will lead you to websites of questionable reputation and therefore we suggest not to click on any of them. Cyber criminals behind Search.hdailysocialweb.com browser hijacker are making money this way – they infect computers, build some web traffic and then redirect it to affiliated websites.
