Remove Delta Homes browser hijacker

What is Delta Homes and why has it hijacked your browser? How to get rid of delta-homes.com as the start page of it? What is the best tool to remove Delta Homes effectively and restore your browser settings to their initial (custom) parameters? We’ll try to give answers to these essentially important questions in the next paragraphs.

Delta Homes virus

It seems like the story of being hijacked with Delta Homes is the continuation of the long-lasting adware campaign run and initially introduced by Delta Search virus (with all its possible variants of attacking various browsers). In the similar manner, this hijacker enters computers through users’ direct participation. In the majority of the cases this takes place when users download and install freeware applications which are bundled with Delta Homes hijacker. Let’s try to demonstrate how this can take place on a real PC.

While installing many free programs easily downloadable online, the setup wizard clearly warns users about installing Delta Homes into the default browser (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox). Other browser may become vulnerable as well. So, at the stage of freeware installation users should always be careful as to what else they’re installing together with the initial program of their choice. When they fail to be duly attentive they will eventually open the door for infiltration of Delta Homes hijacker into their PC and integration of it with their default browser.

Delta Homes virus

As as result of Delta Homes installation through the method described above, this hijacker will become the default search engine. Likewise, delta-homes.com is now set to be the start page of your browser? Is this good or bad in the first place? Well, we’ve already seen many complaints over the Internet expressed by users whose browsers got attacked by this nasty hijacker. The very browsing experience via this pseudo search engine is truly slow and thus annoying. Yet, the creators and the owners of this add-on promise to really enhance the search results by combining data retrieved from various search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo. At the same time, we really doubt that having your search results obtained through browser hijackers is a good and professional search practice. This is why we aren’t really surprised that there are so many users today who would like to completely get rid of this virus from their browser.

In order to effectively uninstall Delta Homes from a particular browser one needs to perform the series of manual steps, primarily dealing with managing browser add-ons and uninstalling programs associated with this add-on from the Control Panel. One may try running a wonderful tool called AdwCleaner, which promises to perform the removal job automatically. So, you may google for this tool, which is absolutely free.
