The last few days when I open my browser instead of the standard Google I am getting two windows open one My Search Dial and the other Delta search.
I had read about a program which makes your smart phone a wi-fi webcam and down loaded the program 'Droidcam' this is where it all started I think and this is all with my firewall active and my anti virus working.
I have done the - Control panal - uninstall a program - but all 3 don't appear on the list.
On line help seems to advise downloading another malware program which I am now unsure of (after the horses bolted type thing).
Help please :help:
A program I have used to good effect in the past is Malwarebytes. http://www.malwarebytes.org/ (http://www.malwarebytes.org/)
It's a free programe.

Definitely the place to start.

Thanks Trev. the Malwarebytes found 3 items but unfortunately they were 3 others not Delta or My search or Droidcam.
You'll probably find it as an extension in your browser settings...
Hi Tom
have a read of these...

plenty more good reading by googling the relevant words.
Another good program to try (after you have tried malwarebytes) is called hijack this.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hjt/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/hjt/)
But be very careful as it allows you to remove anything including things that are supposed to be there!

still no good, I cant even restore to an earlier time
Hi Tom
Tried doing the work in safe mode? (push F8 during start up)
Regards Russ
These things may just be IE toolbars and hence you can disable them in the tools menu in IE. I can't tell you exactly how to disable them as I am using Safari and my memory ain't what it used to be.
Done it, back to normal not sure if its still on computer but I have stopped it opening when starting Chrome.
Its in Settings - On Start up - Open a specific page or pages - Set Pages........then delete the offending pages/malware
Phew :thankyousign:
Thought so! :)
Another good freebie program is SuperAntiSpyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/)
It's well worth running SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes one after the other, what one misses, the other will get.
Hi Fella
Have look at Seek & Destroy Spybot2 www.safer-networking.org/ (http://www.safer-networking.org/)
Its a Freebie. I have been using it for years and it has always been reliable in stopping these type of malwares (browser toolbars etc)
Easy to set up and runs without taking up huge resources.

I have been using the same one for years as well and it works, it sits in the background doing its thing :thumbsup:
cheers John.
I think this one is the "Daddy" of them all for badly infected pc's, I've brought a few back to life using this program.

I agree its a superb way of removing malwares etc.
I have also been using it for years and usually let it run at least once a day
