Searchdynamic.net

By SpideyMan in Browser Hijackers

On its main page, Searchdynamic.net claims to contain a 'Universe of Search.' However, this so-called universe seems to be limited to dodgy websites advertising well-known online scams, spam of various kinds, pornographic material, online casinos, shady online pharmacies and websites selling rogue security programs. Basically, search results on Searchdynamic.net will invariably result in a deluge of malicious websites deemed too harmful to be listed in legitimate search engines.

So, why would anyone want to carry out an online search on Searchdynamic.net when legitimate search engines like Google, Yahoo, or Bing exist? Well, the answer is not so simple. It is important to understand that most people visiting Searchdynamic.net have no choice. This is because their computer is infected with a browser hijacker that is among the most dangerous varieties of this malware threat. Typically, Searchdynamic.net has been linked to TDSS rootkit infections, often carrying varieties of the infamous browser hijacker Trojan known as the Google Redirect Virus, as well as other Trojans and malicious scripts designed to disrupt their victims' online activity. Malware associated with Searchdynamic.net has the capacity to direct its victims' online activity, change settings on the victim's web browsers and block certain websites in order to prevent the victim from seeking help online. Inexperienced computer users may actually mistake Searchdynamic.net for a reliable search engine and may attempt to use Searchdynamic.net regularly, which will usually result in a severe malware infestation on the affected computer system.

Dealing with Malware Related to Searchdynamic.net

Browser hijackers associated with Searchdynamic.net are considered quite dangerous, and particularly difficult to remove. This is because the victim will first have to deal with the TDSS rootkit before being able to remove the Trojans infecting their computer system. The TDSS rootkit infects the victim's computer at its deepest levels, often making it impossible for legitimate security software to detect its presence or the presence of other malware that is being protected by the TDSS rootkit. Fortunately, some anti-malware programs include anti-rootkit technology as well as there being specialized tools created specifically for this purpose. Once the TDSS rootkit has been removed, all that remains is using a reliable anti-malware scanner to search for any other malware infecting the victim's computer system in order to put a halt to any Searchdynamic.net redirects.
