Remove Delta Search (Uninstall Guide)

[post_ad]

Delta
 is a program that offers a web search engine (delta-search.com) and toolbar which are being promoted via other free programs, and once installed on your computer, they will hijack your browser homepage and replace your default search engine.
Futhermore, this program will display ads and sponsored links in your search results, and may colect search terms from your search queries.

Delta Search got on your computer after you have installed another free software or add-on that had bundled into their installer this browser hijacker. For example, when you install MixiDj, you’ll also install the Delta Search, set your browser homepage to delta-search.com and change your default search engine to http://delta-search.com.However, when you uninstall vShare from your computer, your web browser’s default settings will not be restored. This means that you’ll have to remove Delta Search from your favorite web browser manually.

You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this browser hijacker. Be very careful what you agree to install. Always opt for the custom installation and deselect anything that is not familiar, especially optional software that you never wanted to download and install in the first place. It goes without saying that you should not install software that you don’t trust.
