My brother downloaded something, no idea what, and it brought with it the delta toolbar which was redirecting me to other sites. I've scanned with avast, Sophos, spybot and a quick scan with malware bytes. Here's the hijack this log. Cheers!

If you still have Delta toolbar use

AdwCleaner

where did

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HOSTS Anti-Adware_PUPs] C:\Program Files\Hosts_Anti_Adwares_PUPs\HOSTS_Anti-Adware_main.exe

come from

get rid of it, and scan with malwarebytes and adwcleaner again, fix anything found

Toolbar free computers work better, you still have some - aol/google

pennypincher2013

I think it came with adwcleaner. I'm not sure. I can't seem to get rid of it. I can't find an uninstall option and deleting won't work because it keeps saying the folder or file is open in another program. Any suggestions? :think:

closed

msconfig, startup, untick it

reboot

run malwarebytes and adwcleaner

be careful when downloading software, big download now buttons on download pages are often adverts for something you don't want.

It does.

Blocks sites that distribute the programs AdwCleaner removes.

Done that It was still there under program files but I could delete it now. Going to run malware bytes and adwcleaner and will get back. Cheers!

Malware bytes came up with nothing. Here's AdwCleaner:
