Somehow, even more malware got on my computer, this time called "delta-home". I tried uninstalling it from control panel, I tried removing all settings corresponding to it in Chrome settings and I tried uninstalling all free software that I downloaded over the past two months. It's still there.
What concerns me most is that google searching has revealed that it is spyware, not just malware...

| The most logical solution would be getting a new CPU. |

Holy shiet, it added an extention that acts as a security extention but the permissions on it are ridiculous.
Holy fricking shiet.

| Those are all very annoying. You have to search literally everywhere to see where it's coming from, and even then, sometimes they infect other programs... |

reminds me of those royal coupon ads/viruses i used to have.
It was spyware. I had to keep on manually uninstalling it but it kept on going on.
I literally installed a virus to stop a virus |

| If you have a Windows computer you can go ahead and install Microsoft Security Essentials which is basically free antivirus software. |

Viruses suck
Well, if you can't get it out you might have to reformat the whole thing. Which sucks too, since you lose all the data you have on it |

| If all else fails you can reset your system to factory default. This will reset your computer to the standard it was in the factory removing all of the viruses, but you will lose all of your files and downloads as well. PM me for more info |

Oooh, Delta. I got that one a while back.
Don't trust these fools who believe that Microsoft Security Essentials is the solution. It's a terrible antivirus. I catch everything with Malwarebytes, which you can download for free. The free version doesn't give active protection, but as long as you run it once every so often it can catch ~90% of viruses. Anything it can't kill is serious trouble and you're gonna need a heavy hitter for. |

Theirs something called anti-virus. It's super good, but it also doesn't allow you to play roblox games, and the same problem with adtrap. If you got bluescreen I cannot help you.
Don't use CC cleaner. They do clean, and I mean clean.... |

AdwCleaner
Saved me from coupon stuff.
But you had to manually uninstall that, but everything else, it stops. |

@hat. You don't have to revert it to the factory version, actually. When my family's laptop had instashare (gah, what a nuisance.) we had tried everything Tim had, and we called Staples, and they told us to revert it to the factory version. Instead, we figured out that you could revert it to a past landmark, and so if you can revert it to the most recent state before you installed the virus, you lose a lot less data and the virus.
@rock. That's an idea, but a lot of the time you can transfer the virus to the USB if it's attached itself to a file. Then you have two infected items. |

| No, I think it automatically notes the state that your system is at after you download anything, if that's what you mean. |
