Speedydialsearch.com is a homepage on your web browser but you can’t recall setting it yourself? That means your computer is infected with this virus, which is listed as browser hijacker. Don’t get too scared – this infection is not very dangerous, yet it can cause you some significant cyber security problems, thus we suggest to get rid of it. Keep reading the article to find out how to do that.

This website is described as a provider of enhanced search, that should display more accurate results and let you browser the Internet faster and more efficient. However, we find that fact to be false as it tends to display various sponsored results that link to sites affiliated to this malware. Take a look at this:

As you can see, first 2 results links to netfind.com and heatlh247.com websites – they are also listed as browser hijackers, so we can confidently say that Speedydialsearch.com is related to other malware.

This website can be described as advertising network. The scheme behind this malware is really simple – they infect computers and build an audience this way. Then, they direct that audience to websites of their partners and make money this way. That means it can also flood your web browsers with various advertisements.

This product is delivered by Hopebest services – a company well known for distributing malware. One of the most annoying feature of Speedydialsearch.com is the way it gets installed on a computer. Most of the time it travels bundled with other freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. When you are installing some free application, you are asked if you would like to add some ‘free and useful’ tool to your web browser. If you give this permission, Speedydialsearch.com add-on is added to your web browser and once it’s done, it will set both your homepage and default search engine to www.Speedydialsearch.com. It can be pretty difficult to change those settings – you need to remove the virus from your computer completely. And by saying ‘remove the virus’ we mean that you need not only to remove the add-on, but also eliminate all the files on your computer associated to this infection. It is known that it can create files and registry entries, so they have to be completely eliminated.

If you are just a regular computer user, this task can look too difficult to you. That’s why we recommend to get some help from professionals – install anti-malware software. There are plenty of them on the market, yet Spyhunter look like the most efficient ones. Download one of those programs and scan your system with it. That’s it – the virus will be a thing of the past just in a couple of minutes and it will be done automatically by the anti-malware program.

After the removal of virus, you will need to take control over your web browser again. To do that, simply navigate to the settings section on your web browser and locate settings called ‘Homepage’ and ‘default search engine’. Set them to Google, Yahoo or any other legitimate website you prefer. In case you find this task to be too difficult, scroll down below this article and take a look at our step-by-step Speedydialsearch.com manual removal guide where we explain everything in a plain language.
