Searchdimension.com virus - How to remove

Search Control Chrome extension is an application which changes design of Chrome new tab, home page and default search provider into a custom color or a background with high resolution pictures. Search Dimension Inc. is identified as the company that developed this add-on and search engine that comes with it. Searchdimension.com looks strikingly inviting with its beautiful background. It also automatically retrieves information about your location and sets an appropriate time, date and weather forecast. However, the company has been reported to spread its product in rogue ways.

Analysis of Searchdimension.com virus

After visiting Searchdimension.com for the first time, people that have very little knowledge about browser hijackers will not notice the main hits that would suggest it being problematic. First of all, there is no actual necessity to replace original Google, Bing or Yahoo pages with another website. To hide the fact that Searchdimension.com owners do not have their own database to produce search results from, they proclaim to transfer people to these more trustworthy platforms for their own convenience. However, after people enter key words, Searchdimension.com virus does not even bother to immediately present them with URLs. For instance, if they choose Google as their preferred engine, Searchdimension.com virus will simply transfer to its blank interface.

Searchdimension.com and Search Control Chrome extension get criticized for arriving into devices via disputable tricks for distribution. During browsing, people can notice bizarre tables, suggesting that they have to install the extension if they wish to proceed with their activity. You should never agree to install content from unknown sources. During users’ browsing, they noticed small banners from Start.searchdimension.online that state: “Please click on Add Extension to proceed”. Search Control extension is not an add-on that will lift your browsing to another level: it will simply continue to produce search results from Google, Bing or Yahoo. Searchdimension.com site is an unnecessary part between you ant reputable searching facilities.

As explained in the TOS document, Searchdimension.com virus may integrate, be integrated into, bundled, or be provided in connection with third-party services and/or social networks. The Search Dimension Services may also contain advertisements for or links to other services or resources. The company itself does not guarantee that its provided content and facilities will be completely secure. For this reason, we are suspicious of Searchdimension.com and whether it is capable enough to stand as a search engine that uses sophisticated security measures.

Of course, Searchdimension.com looks like a more elaborate searching platform than most of the engines that are assigned to the group of browser hijackers. The biggest red flag is that Search Control browser extension is transmitted in questionable ways. For this reason, people can end up with Searchdimension.com without wanting to have it. If you notice that your browsers’ preferences have been reorganized to foster this search product, we advise you to look at the list of active add-ons. Search Control extension is seen in this list?

This can be done with sophisticated anti-malware tools like Spyhunter or Malwarebytes. Manual instructions are found beneath.
