Delta Search

aardvaak

My laptop is running Win Vista with browsers IE & Firefox.

Unfortunately I have clicked on something and now everytime I open either browsers the default comes up as Delta Search - I can temp. change the homepage but as soon as I close and reopen it revert to Delta.

Can someone please tell me how to remove this rubbishy delta search?

You can also try this: http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2013/02/remove-delta-searchcom-redirect-delta.html

or use AdwCleaner http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

Used it when had a really annoying toolbar. It was called conduit if I remember correctly. Helped me a lot.

Pushes SpyHunter which will require payment.

Adwcleaner is free and is all you'll need.

Just skip the download button. It's a rather detailed removal guide, so I thought it's worth sharing. And yes, I agree, Adwcleaner is indeed a very useful utility.

To be honest the removal instructions aren't needed either if people don't like to mess - AdwCleaner does the lot - reverts settings changes, deletes file/folders/registry entries, stops/deletes services etc...
