Protect My Search Daily is a free extension offered for Google Chrome users. Officially, the extension is represented at protectmysearchdaily.com, and its installer can be found on the Chrome Web Store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/protect-my-search-daily/dnkodihhbpdgmainngloaaaeloicinoo). The creator of this add-on is HyperConnect Media, a company that we know nothing about at this point.

Everything is possible, and if you remember installing the PUP along with other pieces of software, it is a good idea to employ a legitimate malware scanner to examine your system just in case.

If you are a movie buff, Screen Dream Toolbar might attract you. This extension is meant to help you access “exciting new trailers” directly from your Google Chrome’s New Tab. The extension also comes with a search tool. If you use movie-related apps and websites, you must know that access to trailers is not a significantly useful service. Nonetheless, Google Chrome users have installed this extension, and so it is likely that someone has found it attractive. Otherwise, this extension must have been installed silently, without permission, or by accident.
