Mysearchdial Toolbar

There are many toolbars that are designed to improve your web browsing experience. However, some toolbars are not as useful as they might seem. MySearchDial Toolbar is a browser plugin developed by IronInstall and it is compatible with all main browsers. According to the official website at mysearchdial.com, this toolbar allows you to access your favorite search results with just one click and the toolbar itself provides you with various web services. Needless to say, that MySearchDial Toolbar is nowhere near being a malicious computer infection, but quite a few users consider it a potentially unwanted program, because of its resistance to removal.

The toolbar may also look suspicious, because it can change your home page and your default search engine, but that you can control yourself, during the installation. If you are attentive enough you will notice that MySearchDial Toolbar has two installation options - recommended and advanced. Here is what the installation wizard says when you need to choose which version to install:

MySearchDial is a free popular toolbar which offers 1-click access to search restults, most popular websites and a customized & personalized new tab experience allowing quick access to your favorite content.
