Hello, 

          I searched online to try and find out what above hijack item is & how it can take over on any

page I tab. (I fixed my home page, and removed a toolbar line it also created).

I went into all the Firefox options, and check control panel add/remove programs to veryify there was no entry relating to Google, or Chrome or MSDSD.

Searched the web, There is no www.msdsd.com website, either. I have no idea where the hooks for this item are on my machine. If it is a program, I would delete it. If it is a setting I would change it.

Even attempted to block chrome:// on my firewall. Wish I could tell you how this got on my machine in the first place... Not having any luck getting a handle on this. Any ideas as to how to kill this items or where it originated from?

Keazen oplossing

hello madav, you have two extensions present, that possibly cause this behaviour: MySearchDial NewTab 9.5.3 & mysearchdial.com 1.6.0

Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page

I have the same problem but the solution does not work in my pc: I have started Firefox in safe mode, meaning no extension activated, and the f... problems is still there

Hi unparadomas

Could you please start a new thread for your question instead of posting in an existing thread?

Then you can provide more information like your operating system and installed extensions and installed plugins.

I tried following the other posts here, maybe I’m just dense! Here is the step by step way I got rid of the chrome hijack!

Go to: Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions

Disable “MySearchDial” and test that that cleared up your problem.

IF not for some reason, re-enable it, but I don’t think this will be the case.

If it does clean up the problem, remove the unwanted extension.
