The Search.mysearch24.com site is presented to Web surfers as an adaptation of the Opera's speed dial. Search.mysearch24.com offers a speed dial and a search service powered by nova.rambler.ru that is aimed at users based in Russia. The design of Search.mysearch24.com reminds of the Opera's default start page with its tiles, custom background image, and search bar at the top. However, users are not allowed to change the background image of Search.mysearch24.com and cannot edit the selection of tiles displayed on Search.mysearch24.com. Web surfers that are based in Russia may find Search.mysearch24.com very useful considering that it has links to popular services like Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, Mytatasky.com, Hotstar.com, Alibaba.com and Paytm.com.

Unfortunately, the site has accumulated bad reputation for connections with riskware and browser hijackers that redirect users to Search.mysearch24.com whenever they open a new tab page and search on Google, Yahoo and Bing. The redirects to Search.mysearch24.com and then to Nova.rambler.ru might be caused by a program containing a free software bundle that you have installed recently. PC users may prefer to use the 'Express' and 'Standard' installation option. Thus, they may install potentially unwanted software that arrives on the computer. Some free programs include monetization mechanisms where users are rerouted to sites like Nova.rambler.ru and Search.mysearch24.com, which allows the freeware developer to claim ad revenue. The Terms of Use Agreement and Privacy Policy uploaded to mysearch24.com/terms.php and mysearch24.com/privacy.php do not suggest there is a browser extension related to Search.mysearch24.com. Third parties might be using Search.mysearch24.com and a browser plug-in to redirect users to Nova.rambler.ru and earn money by doing so. The software connected to Search.mysearch24.com and responsible for the browser redirects may run in the background and feature a name of random characters. It may be difficult for users to identify and delete browser hijackers. Computer experts advise the usage of reputable anti-malware scanners that can clean systems from advanced threats and unwanted software safely.
