Delta-search,com and browser defender by bit89 inc

Options
Been invaded by this, and it's resisting all my attempts to uninstall it.

Ist of all delta-search.com was installed as my default browser, couldn't shift it even after it appeared to have gone from my programme list.

Changed it manually back to my default home page and it wouldn't accept it, eventually the computer crashed and after about 15 mins self check it opened up again.

Now, delta search doesn't appear, have managed to re establish my own home page, but cannot remove Browser defender.
When I select it to uninstall it just stays put.

Run malwarebytes, kaspersky pure and windows defender with no result other than KP picked up two invaders yesterday, which was the date these 2 programmes were installed.

Followed several approaches from googling it but still there lurking.

Any ideas without getting too techy, I have limited knowledge of this stuff but want it gone.
I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    My grandson managed to download this the other day.

    Download this and run it, very easy and self explanatory.

    Yes. It is a much used removal tool.

    So why when I look at it and start to download do I get all manner of spurious other stuff thrust at me, sorry, I'm a disbeliever,:D:D or is that just a sceptic, simply don't want to make another wrong click.

    Ok, just call me thick, but there are several download options in the link, and haven't a clue which is the needed one.

    The one that says
    "Download Now
    @BleepingComputer"


    Direct link may or may not work.
