The program installs a new toolbar (Delta-toolbar), changes your homepage, your default search engine, adds additional search providers and because it modifies the Windows registry after you restart your web browser it overwrites default values. Why to get rid of it? Because it’s an unwanted program which tracks and sends information about your web searches to third party servers for advertising so when you make a search the first results are sponsored links that might not be related to your search queries.
