Delta Search: The notorious malware

image

The “doodle” looks cool isn’t it? This is no Google, but Delta Search- a malware. I had no idea from where it got installed in my System. But it had a serious damage on my system. It would display useless ads, product promotions, and much more.

Internet Explorer:

  1. Open Internet Explorer, go ‘Tools‘ -> ”Manage Add-ons’ -> ‘Toolbars and Extensions’ and uninstall Delta Search and other entries that may be unknown for you.
  2. Click ''Tools' -> 'Manage addons' -> ‘Search Providers’ and choose the search engine you used before.

Mozilla Firefox:

  1. Open Mozilla Firefox, go ‘Tools’ -> ‘Add-ons’ -> ‘Extensions’; find Delta Search and other unknown entries and click ‘Uninstall’.
  2. Go ‘Tools’ -> ‘Options’ and reset the startup homepage to google.com, yahoo.com or similar search page.

Google Chrome:

  1. Click the Chrome menu button on the Google Chrome browser, select Tools -> Extensions. Here, look for Delta Search extension and get rid of it by clicking on the Recycle Bin. 
  2. Click on wench icon, go to settings and choose 'Manage search engines'. Change search engine to google or other. Then Go to section “On start” and make sure you get blank page while creating new tab

The Conjuring

A perfect recipe for making a contemporary horror movie:

1. A family: father, mother, three children (among which the last one is special: will explain later).

2. An old mansion

3. Of course the presence.

 

So the family moves to the “old mansion” – which either could be their property which they were not aware of till now but realized their forefather’s left it for them, or they were in search for a house and finally got it through some agent.

Then the events start. Their dog refuses to enter the house, it dies soon, the last one makes a friend whom others cant see, and during nights something invisible pulls the bed sheets, pulls hair, their mother gets mysterious wounds, father initially doesn’t believe all this superstition, mother then approaches tantrics (-hindi for excorcists) and finally there we go!

But the movie works wonderfully thanks to the direction and the background score. The audience were literally screaming during the ‘’hide and clap” scene and ‘hair raising’ scenes. Go for it.. and get scared for atleast a while!
