Delta Search

On the one hand, Delta Search is a browser hijacker which generally gets installed into computers because of users’ direct participation. In fact, we have not been able to discover any forms of unauthorized installation of Delta Search engine onto any specific computer. On the other hand, Delta Search is a contemporary form of adware (advertising software that has the objective of promoting certain products and services together with the search results retrieved via Delta Search engine). Does this description sound clear to you? If not, we’ll try to explain to you how this particular browser hijacker and adware works and why it is so popular among adware developers.

There are many free applications that can be easily downloaded over the Internet these days. They are of either freeware or shareware nature. Nevertheless, many active Internet visitors tend to download a lot of such programs on a regular basis. We can’t speak positively or negatively regarding these programs. It might be that some of them are indeed beneficial to install and keep. Yet, there’s a certain peculiarity of freeware or shareware applications that can be easily downloaded online and installed. Many of them (their installers) are hosted for free on certain online resources. Yet, as a payment for such free hosting, the installers of such freeware or shareware applications are often bundled with a lot of extras (additional applications which by default are installed together with the primary software). Delta Search Engine is of such extras (additional software that is installed automatically through the default installation as instructed by install wizards of many shareware or freeware programs.

So, when you install certain free program, the chances are that its installer will by default install additional tools like Delta Search. As as result of such default installation, Delta Search will become your default search engine, with delta-search.com becoming the default search (start) page of your browser. This can be well demonstrated on the example of MixiDJ player installation. This is a free audio player, yet its installer is often bundled with that of Delta Search toolbar. So, if you choose to install MixiDJ free audio player, you will also be offered by default to install Delta Search Engine onto your machine.

How to avoid installation of Delta Search engine by default? The answer to this question is quite simple, by the way. You should read the instructions of the installation wizard carefully when installing freeware or shareware programs (like MixiDJ player). By default, you will be instructed to install MixiDJ toolbar and Delta Search engine with delta-search.com as your default search page. Yet, the setup wizard gives you the option to choose the custom installation where you can uncheck the boxes responsible for installation of all extras like Delta Search and MixiDJ toolbars, etc.

Summarizing the above-mentioned information, we can surely tell that the fact of appearance of Delta Search engine on your machine is fully explained by your personal failure to be attentive during installation of freeware or shareware applications. You should have been more careful while installing them in the first place! Always read the setup instructions carefully, making sure to uncheck installation of all extras (additional applications, toolbars, add-ons, etc.).
