That's mi experience: In step 1- In remove/Unistall these applications i can't found any of these files. They didn't exist In step 2 I clean my computer with an clean-up software (I tried two) and they said that i havn't any addware or something. Later, i removed Delta-Search in the toolbar in Google Chrome, and in home page. My question is: I didn't find the files in remove/Unistall, the program who clean the pc detecting the malwares say that i don't have any problem, and i removed the toolbar in Google Chrome, i am safe now?

Welcome Mil. If you are using Windows 8 OS: 1. Go to Windows 'Control panel'. 2. Open 'Action center'. 3. Expand "Security" using the drop down arrow. 4. Find 'Windows Smart screen' and click on "Change settings" option. 5. Select the last option: "Don't do anything (turn off Windows Smart Screen" and press "OK" 6. Try to run 'AdwCleaner' now. 7. After you complete "Delta Search" removal process, you must turn on "Smart Screen" again. Inform me if these instructions helped you.

Hello Sagayuri, In control panel find and remove any software belongs to "DELTA" Publisher.
