I use Google Chrome and, all of a sudden, whenever I open it, 3 tabs open. My usual homepage, delta search and wisersearch.com. I can't see how this is happening or how to stop it.

Any ideas?

    It very likely isn't called delta, but it will (probably) give delta as the developer.
  • Having looked on the web I 'think' spybot can get rid of them.

    Run AdwCleaner again and post the log.

    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.
