Follow the removal guide here:


Link to "remove-delta-homescom-removal" guide at deletemalware.blogspot,com removed by moderator.
The guide includes a "Download Anti-Malware" button that starts a SpyHunter-Installer.exe download. Enigma Software's SpyHunter is a questionable product that may be difficult to uninstall. The "free" scanner only detects malware and requires payment before malware is actually removed. (ref. 1 ... ref. 2)

See Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware for recommended anti-malware software and forums that specialize in malware removal.

And also scan your computer with AdwCleaner.

The best thing is that i did remove Delta homes browser hijacker finally with the helps of this tutorial. So i would like to share it to see if these help.

Hello for everyone, it's almost the same infection as qvo6 or delta-search., it is not very hard to remove it. THe main problem people don't remove link brow shortcut... Follow the steps:

Target Modification

  1. Right-click the shortcut of your browser.
  2. Select Properties and go to Shortcut tab.
  3. Locate the Target line and check out its content.
  4. Based on your browser, there should be only the following text in Target line:
  5. Mozilla Firefox – C:Program FilesMozilla Firefoxfirefox.exe. Delete all the additional text and click OK.

How to reset my browser

Mozilla Firefox

  1. Click Firefox button and go to Help.
  2. Click Troubleshooting information.
  3. Press Reset Firefox and then click Reset Firefox on a new dialog box.
  4. When the reset is complete, click Finish.

Removal from other browser is almost the same, just shortcut target is different :
URL removed by moderator.
The "delta-homes-removal" page includes a "Download Removal Tool" button that starts a SpyHunter-Installer.exe download. Enigma Software's SpyHunter is a questionable product that may be difficult to uninstall. The "free" scanner only detects malware and requires payment before malware is actually removed. (ref. 1 ... ref. 2)
