I feel that I may be having probs with my Firefox perhaps since your link with the click here in your response does not
seem to work , but hey that is my problem not the OP's problem sorry archieboy I will sort mine out, thanks waddler:cool:

There is no clickable link in my response, DCM. We'll stop there, were going OT and going round in circles.

@archieboy

How you doing?

Oh Waddler_8 what have I done now?? I tried to download the adwcleaner. I clicked on save when the bar came up at the bottom of my screen but nothing much seemed to happen - certainly I can't see that it has downloaded the program anywhere. But now I have lost my internet home page and now get something called 'delta-search' Have I made things worse?

Not to worry. Let's start again by following these instructions.

Download AdwCleaner from the link below & save it to your desktop.

LINK

If you don't save it to your desktop, look in either:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\My Documents\Downloads
(XP)

Or

C:\Users\<your username>\Downloads
(Vista/Win7/8)

Then,

• Double click AdwCleaner.exe to run it (XP) or right click and choose "Run as Administrator" (Vista, Win7, Win8).
• Click the Scan button.
• When the scan finishes, click the Report button.
• A logfile will open in notepad. Copy/paste to post the contents of the logfile in your next reply.
• Close AdwCleaner
• You can also find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner[R**].txt.

Update from my previous post from last night. Ran Malware again and this time it found a couple of hundred of those PUP's. Deleted them. I have managed to download Adwcleaner and run it. It also found a few things which I cleaned up. Have also got my original 'home page' back by going into that website and clicking on Tools and Internet Options. (I'm learning a little bit!) Will my computer be back to normal now? Thanks for all your help and others who also offered help.

Yes, it should be. None of the items were malicious so I wouldn't worry too much in any case.
