I have downloaded something and I cant get rid of it

Firefox Site breakages

I downloaded paint.com cos I had to delete it ages ago but I dont have any photo editing software. However, unbeknown to me, it also added Delta browser which is bloody annoying and I don't want it. I have removed the software, and also the delta browser and toolbar but when I open a new tab it is Delta now instead of Google as it was before. I have done two system restores back to a month ago but Delta remains. I don't want it, I don't like it and I am totally ready to throw the thing out the window there is no trace of it in my Add/Remove programs anymore. ARGH!!! Someone help? I want my old Firefox browser back.

I went for the search reset tool but what do I do with it? How do I get rid of the delta with it?

And also, how do I "delete a possible js. file in the profile folder? I don't even know where to find said folder. Do forgive my ignorance and thank you very much for replying.
