Dan Goodin — Websites use your CPU to mine cryptocurrency even when you close your browser
I had my browser hijacked once by MySearchDial.com. I had just put Windows 7 on my PC and I went and downloaded some free software that I liked from from a free download site. The next thing I knew there was gambling games on my desktop and when I went online MySearchDial came up and loads of sex sites came up regardless of what I put in the search engine. I found out that MySearchDial.Com had an office in America and I couldn't understand why it hasn't been closed down. I read that MySearchDial might steal your passwords.
Now nothing world remove MySearchDial: my antispyware did nothing, a system restore did not remove it, and Superantispyware only partially removed it so I asked for my money back but they sent me links to some free software instead. I checked out the software and it was all considered to be dodgy and it was recommended not to download it, but one bit of software was said to be excellent, and that was Malewarebytes. I downloaded it and it completely removed MySearchDial.com. I was so impressed I bought the software and I got it for a very low price because it was new on the market and it covered three devices. Still to this day I get it for a low price because I opted into a repeat subscription.
